Thanks RawHide
Does this mean:
1. reporting fatigue can be considered not legit just because certain parameters are not met based on the algorithm in the computer system and that lands you a missed assignment?
2. If sick calls are legit with notes, they can be considered not legit if the CP for some reason thinks you are abusing them?
Folks responding to this--thanks in advance and please, please don't assume I am trying to use sick calls when I am not sick. I can proudly tell you that so far in my aviation career I have never called in sick for any reason other than being sick. I take flying sick seriously, and a company that would pressure me to fly sick in any way, shape or form is a no go.
