Thanks Scoop

Rumor is, calling in well “too soon” will get you a GFB call.

Multiple posts on social media about this. They are the APD holiday window.

Can confirm. Calling sick and well a day apart…

In my case, the CPO considered it ‘verified’. I think that’s rare though.

GFB call is like a blessing if you know how to milk it. Rack up some nice CC points too at Delta’s expense

It's low cost harassment, you already called in well and can't miss your next trip with verification.

Bingo. There’s no upside to calling in well a day or two after a sick call.

White slipping over the remaining footprint of your original rotation to replenish sick time is easily the greatest sucker’s clause in our contract.

Or call sick, then well on day 1 of a 45 hour 6 day. 45 verified hours!
