we are not office workers or rampers. We have a different level of IMSAFE.
How much grief will you get if you commute home after a sick call? I'd assume zero.
How much grief will you get if you commute from <xxx> to Aruba on the day of your sick call? <-not a made up example
The point I am trying to make is there is no official, codified in writing protection. The MOU that was referenced does NOT exclude a pilot from discipline if non-reving while out sick.
Is it a high-risk behavior? Not IMHO. Is it zero risk? No.
