This happens at all carriers, we have one pilot they have destroyed for getting sick and for having family get sick and attempting to use the Family Leave. They lose the paperwork or the person who can authorize it is on vacation or they outsource the management of it to companies like Aetna ( the scum of the insurance business ).
