If you've ever gotten a cold/flu/etc. from a colleague that showed up unfit for duty per the back of their medical, then you should understand what I'm talking about here.
Yes, as an individual pilot, you can make a choice to "fly the contract". The soon to be former administration made it illegal for anyone to suggest or ask you to do it.
That's my point...if enough individuals take the initiative to do something, the effect ends up being the same; the union
shouldn't have to tell its members to not fly broken airplanes or fly when they are medically unfit for duty.
