Now, but I do think is absolute BS are the completely arbitrary changes to the NFLY status currently. They are arbitrarily reducing the number of NFLY days and requiring additional testing to remain on NFLY completely outside of the LOA. That’s a problem.
It's not just NFLY silliness. I missed a RECY sim in Dec due to illness that wiped me out for the first week of the month. I had every COVID symptom except loss of taste/smell but tested negative for both flu and covid (twice). I called in well expecting a RECY sim that would allow me to get back flying. Instead they just punted me to Jan for CQ and recoded my dropped trips from NQ to SICK. WTF is going on with recoding stuff. I could have regained recency and flown 65 hours. Instead they charged me sick leave and put my trips out for GS and IA. They didn't even have the courtesy to call and ask for verification.
Now I'm out on NFLY for a positive test, before heading to CQ. This will be an interesting mess to sort out. Do we just keep adding 5 to the most recent positive COVID test.
*Mild symptoms. The biggest discomfort has been taking care of the wife and 2 kids with fever, headaches, fatigue, etc.
