What? What crapbag nazi airline do you work for?? Getting fired for four sick calls in a year is preposterous. I've been sick four times this year already, which is not at all surprising considering the nights sleeping in the crew lounge because I can't afford a hotel, the frequent reduced rest, constantly changing time zones, and exposure to the disease-ridden masses on a daily basis. Flying while sick is unacceptable, and if your company pressures people to "limit" how many times they can catch a cold they should be put out of business in this country.
