PWA 14.F.4. states "Exception: A pilot who has used 50 or fewer of their available sick leave hours in the previous sick leave year will not be subject to any good-faith inquiry by the Company"

We had an unwise FO call out sick and go to WIA event. Posted all over SM. CPO found out and even though below 50hrs and against the PWA they made her get a note and told her to grieve. The CPO knew they would lose but made her do it regardless. In the end she won her grievance and CP had to write letter of apology which they gladly did. A "read between the lines" apology.
If you call out and like an idiot post your perfectly healthy self all over SM, the CPO can, and will violate this policy knowing they will lose.
*At least this is the story that was told to me.

Hard to feel bad for someone that stupid.

Nobody who receives one of these letters is going to go above and beyond for Delta — ever again. Once the current flu outbreak winds down, management will pat itself on the back as sick levels decrease. They’ll try to label it as a “win”. Meanwhile, the high cost of their foolish actions will compound for years to come.
Cleaning house across all of Flight Ops management is the only way to fix this place. Dozens of pink slips need to go out before anything here changes.
