[QUOTE=aircum]I am surprised no one brought this up. I recently read the profound(?) email from management on what sick leave is.

I read the sick leave memo entitely differently. I didn't know that the "average" pilot calls sick 3.5 times/year. I didn't know that calling in sick 7 times in any 365 days flags your name for a special discussion with your friendly chief pilot. That means I can call in sick 4 more times per year without putting myself on report. I rather appreciated the educational sick leave memo.

"Mayday"
