Yup. However, I just called in "well". Had 10 r-a days left and did not get docked any sick hours. As mentioned in a previous post, if my wife is unable to(rare occurence) hold down the fort, I.E her mom is in the hospital-again(with 4 freekin tubes in and out her tiny body- (this is still happening)) and one of my kids is pukin their own weight-- Im callin in sick. Fedex has always been very sympathetic to these needs. They have never called me to ask why, I've just called in sick when needed and called in well when i'm ready to fly.

"All, we have recently had two crewmembers go sick upon assignment of a reserve trip. This results in an Irregularity Report addressed to the System Chief pilot on down and becomes a part of your record. In the future it will also result in an Advisory Letter. This is not a new policy but one that has been in effect everywhere else in the system for some time. Of course there are circumstances that arise and we are always open to discuss those on a case by case basis. Contact me if you have any questions regarding this policy."

If I feel sniffly then suddenly realize I can't clear my ears, I'm sick. No amount of threats or intimidation will change the facts. If this happens when I'm called for a trip, so be it.
You should always conduct yourself as if it is on a case by case basis. If you can't explain your situation to the ACP or to union legal counsel, then you may be doing something wrong.

It would be ironic if this was held against me sometime in the future when my ACP at the time didn't even think it was important enough to respond. Would've like at least something from him...anything from a "don't worry about it..." to "show me a doctor's note..." to "this is going in your record..." Got nothing.
