Was happening at Comair during the BK. We now have to talk to a Chief Pilot to call in sick. The Chief Pilots are pretty cool about it, and just tell you to get better. It isn't their policy, they just have to enforce it.
I have called in sick in the middle of a trip at an outstation (woke up with a killer sinus infection) and they just flew someone out to cover the trip.
As for someone threatening my certificate over it, I would have laughed, called the union, and then tell them I'll go to the doctor once my cold is over.
