I don’t see the GFB call, which is not a standard practice at AA or UA, as an appropriate response to perceived sick leave abuse here, which DOES also exist at AA and UA. It’s ineffective at reducing sick calls (which were UP last year), and represents a form of harassment that isn’t seen elsewhere at the legacy level. A pilot advocate would not be making the case that those are the diapers that we all must wear because of the actions of a few (the same type who exist everywhere else).
I didn't see him ever say the GFBs are justified/appropriate. All he said was that there is abuse of our sick policy going on. Of course there is, every company has that. It doesn't mean GFBs are appropriate, and I'm sure they do nothing to quell it either.
