The difference between GFB verification and 120h lookback verification is that the company pays for GFB, while the pilot pays after 120h of lookback. Thats a pretty big carrot/stick!
I just don’t see GFB as a big problem like a lot of others do. I guess people are scared of talking to the CPO? Okay, you want a letter, I’ll go on telehealth and get you your letter. It takes maybe an hour of my time, the company pays for it, and the lookback is removed. I’ll happily take that deal.

Sick calls are up drastically without lookback. Talk to your reps.

Lookback suspension began November 1st, which coincided with the start of the worst flu season in 25 years. Sick calls have surged everywhere, not only at Delta, due to the severity of this cold / flu season.
Management appears to be clueless that correlation does not imply causation. But if that gets us QS faster, so be it.
