His letter is an

Use sick leave when you are not fit to fly.
(Within 4 hours to showtime triggers a call - - I got one. I know of one person who got a call and said he found himself too tired to fly the trip, so he called in sick. His ACP said that wasn't a legit sick call, so he changed it from SICK to DROP, and adjusted his pay accordingly. After the grievance process was complete, he got his pay back, and sick bank adjusted.
When I got my call, all I volunteered was that when I determined I was not fit to fly, I called in sick. End of story.)
