As much as DL likes to throttle sick usage, this pretty much means any sick call doesn't count, even if you get GFBd.
I was going to be on the 120+ lookback until at least next November. Now? I don't need a QHCP to sign off, unless they GFB me, in which case, it gets very spendy very quick.
Also, WHO can sign a QHCP form is forever changed to be more flexible. No longer has to be MD or DO. Can be DC, NP, PA and probably some others I'm forgetting.
Sorry to say... I know this affects you, but sick abuse has always been a PITA for pilots but not a problem for the company. Emotionally for some former leadership because of a few bad actors, maybe. Financially for the company, no. GFB will do the same job 120 verification was doing. Changing the QHCP requirement actually makes this easier for the company in most cases.
