Only annecdote I've heard is a CP that called out guys with no jackets that were on caribbean rotations. When informed of that, CP doubled down and said "thats only IN that destination", incorrectly.
If you are going to call people out, you at least better know your own FOM. Embarassing.

Just curious how many sick calls are getting people called or a letter. In 30+ years (knock on wood) I have never been called or questioned about sick calls. I have heard for years that people get called and have seen these "sick leave" deterrent campaigns multiple times over the years.

I hope so. I think the average line pilot is not on these forums and is afraid of GFB and the CPO. This type of letter is the type of thing that I think scares them. The type of people frequently on these forums and reading ALPA emails are the type that were already going to use their sick time when they were sick anyway.
The fact that it took most pilots 3 years to discover how nice auto accept is still astounds me.

- You can get a QHCP note (Doctor's note no longer required) via a teledoc/virtual appointment. You can do it all via chat or app through many health systems. You can even get a note from your chiropractor.
- Once you get the qhcp note, the entirety of your sick call is "verified." It doesn't matter now, but it will once the lookback calculator is turned back on. So you can make sure you're 150% "well" before returning to work, and the whole thing is verified.
- The only acceptable response from a unionized group, even if only one person got this letter, is for everyone who didn't get a letter to try harder to get one.

Still amazes me that someone can wakeup one day, break with the ranks and go to management job, and then send out trash like this. Probably wasn’t the named person’s idea but at the same time, pretty Benedict Arnold kinda stuff. Are they even really allowed fully back into the union ranks as a line pilot later, or once you’re in the management bed there you stay?
