It literally says if they determine your fatigue call is not warranted then you will be mistripped. Unbelievable. Also if you miss any of those steps or file a FSR outside of 48 hours you are considered mistripped.

I wasn't aware these morbidly obese mentally handicapped rejects we have running the place were experts in fatigue.

Oh, and by the way, the sick policy in a nutshell is:

1. if you call in sick on or near a holiday you'll need a doctor's note
2. if you call in sick any other day we can (and do) ask for a doctor's note
3. if you fail to supply a sick note you are mistripped
4. anything more than 3 occurences in 12 rolling months gets you a carpet dance and possibly a letter on your file. After that you're eligble for suspension or termination.

This crap better be locked out completey in the new contract with no way to reinterepret rules in their unethical ways.
