Tony,
Yep $30 but you get to put on your next medical application that you visited urgent care because FedEx flight operations did not believe that you were unfit for duty. Now there is a FAA record of the company second guessing your fitness for duty and your AME has to sign off on it.
Puts it all on the company. Works great. The FAA will contact your AME.

I'm going to take a picture of the Tylenol Cold and Flu box along with a copy of the receipt the next time I get sick. I'm trusted to operate an MD11 worldwide but not to self medicate when I need to do so? Sad state of affairs round here.

Dear Doctor Dewivedi,
My company demands proof that I have visited a Doctor for my cold, please provide me a sick note. While I am here it would probably be prudent to check for black death, scurvy, malaria, whooping cough, rabies, menopause, low T, lead poisoning or any other tests that you can think of to help you make your car payment.
Sincerely,

I don't understand why we as a group tolerate such poor performance. It appears we enjoy a good a$$ kicking from time to time. No wonder management runs over us like a bulldozer.

He is pre-Dave Webb. Has been there way to long. The only dealing I had with him was a grievance I filed in 2009. A worthless experience to say the least.

Doesn't exactly seem ethical when you know you'd self medicate for an issue but are now forced to see a doctor on someone else's dime
