Had never heard of Dextromorphin but it is on the FAA no go list, so no DayQuil either. Sudafed is still ok:

It's another thing to DH home on a mid-roation sick call though. But yes, please don't fly sick, or (selfishly) more to the point, pass it on to your coworkers.

However, sometimes you’re mid rotation on the wrong coast and just can’t clear your ears.
Shades of gray, but yes usually your point is a good one.

Sometimes it really is just allergies…or insert whatever other euphemism.
That said, if I called in sick everytime something was less than 100% I’d rarely be at work. The young pups will understand soon enough 😂 Sometimes Sudafed does the trick.
One rule to live by after doing this enough cold seasons. Much better to call it early if in doubt than to do a couple laps to cruise altitude.

I don’t think I have ever been prouder of a group of pilots.

Congratulations to the ATL 765 guys and gals.
The instructors really need to pull it together. You were so close. I expect better performance next year.
