+1. How do you guys handle a sick FA? Some of you might remember the big issue in-flight management had with pilots calling in sick for their FAs back in 2015-16. The pilots were told by the CP office to stop and call them instead if they had a problem, not crew scheduling because we are not in the chain of command to call in sick for them.. Most had big problems with that.. Destination safety anyone? Anyway.
So I guess now the question is how far do you really want escalate the situation? Often we don't find out that they are sick until later and they most likely will not want you to say anything. Many will downplay their sickness and say they're alright. Or can't afford to lose their job... Etc.
Obviously you can't be spineless out there, if you are uncomfortable you shouldn't block out, but I guess I'm asking where you draw the line, because the FAs have forced you to draw it for them by showing up to work sick...
Thoughts?
