I'm not sure how this information is helpful to anyone.

If scheduling is unhappy that you called in sick they file a report and the investigation starts. Everyone knows the pilots only call in sick because they want more time off. I'm pretty sure JJ's heart attack and surgery was just an elaborate ruse to skip work the last couple of years. We just can't prove it yet

I expect a call and special monitoring every time I call in sick. This makes it easy and I don't care about how many times or for how long. Coincidentally I now don't fret over the secret investigation or extra "care" I will receive after a fatigue call. I'm ready for it.

Since they don't tell us when the "rules" change or who is being monitored for what infraction, I think it's good to always inform the union that you are being questioned. They might raise the harassment flag for you. Lawyer to lawyer communication can also prevent someone from using your words against you.
