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.
They are saying it needs to be a "proctored" test on day 5 or 6 to keep NFLY going. So either an at home test with some app that a doc literally watches you take a test, or just go out and wait on line for a test. It is not in accordance with LOA and even if you are negative but with symptoms I don't know how the company could claim SICK and not NFLY after you originally tested positive. They're trying to make it such a PITA to keep NFLY going that we just give up and either go in, or just revert to sick time.
