If you are unable to fly and uphold the FAA requirements for your medical issuance, call in sick. If given grief call a rep for your meeting. We have NOT had anyone have any discipline over the sick calls beyond a meeting to figure out what's wrong if you suddenly are sick multiple times in a short period. Anything the company threatens to do is only a threat. It's an easy grievance with FAA support for the first pilot who is pressured to fly sick or does not because the pilot is sick and the company disciplines.
