The lengths this company will go to in order to harass its pilots into submission is really shocking. The company negotiated the sick leave benefit and I'm sure something was traded for it, so too bad if they don't like it when pilots actually have to use it!! I've never been asked for a GFB, and I don't abuse the system, but if they ask me for one when I'm sick, it will be an eye opener for them!
Agreed. Another example is their change in dealing with Covid, one of the few pure concessions in the new contract. Against the union’s take on things, the company has unilaterally decided that covid tests now have to be proctored by a health care professional. Take a moment and think about what the company is truly saying here….
”We know that you have a highly communicable and possibly life threatening disease. We know that you have a positive test that is easy to use and easy to read. However instead of staying at home, resting, and healing, we will now require you to go outside, expose yourself to new people you may infect, and get another identical test but this one will be administered by people we actually trust.
Oh and TFAYD.
