As a side note, ASAPs don't provide protection from deliberate falsifications. Which, as I understand it, is what the company is targeting. That is to say, using sick leave as PTO (I've flown with plenty who've explicitly called it PTO and they intend to use it now that GFC are gone).
ASAPs are weak sauce for this.
If the company is targeting deliberate falsifications, then they’re at a shooting range with a blindfold on. The vast majority of pilots who received these letters used sick time for legitimate reasons.
”GFC” is not gone. (I’m assuming you mean GFB.)
You’re incorrect on ASAPs providing no protection from company discipline as well. Regardless, you’ve been here long enough to see the company attempt discipline for sick calls and fail miserably (see the Harris ruling, ATL 03-09). If the company attempts discipline again, not only will it not stick, but it will further galvanize the pilot group against them and cost far more in the long run.
