There’s quite a few bad cases of rectal glaucoma going around right now. It really flares up on sunny 70 F days. I hope that friend doesn’t catch it on a X day later this month and need to swipe.

Thanks DG. Is the screenname a reference to C130? P3? E2?

Default May sick usage

If sick leave starts in May but continues into June (without a call in well), which sick hours are utilized for the June trip(s).

Anyone know an online doctor service that will write a note (Delta’s specific form)? Last time I tried an online doctor they refused to use Delta’s format and I wasted $100.

Are we required to use that form? I didn't and had no issue with a GFB.

Good question. The Chief who called me was simply out to get people so I don’t trust a thing he said. His reasoning was “you called in sick 2 days AFTER a holiday.” I only had 40 hours of look back. Left me an angry voicemail demanding a note before I even talked to him and he emailed me the form to fill out.

Ten years of using little sick time and I still got treated poorly. From that day forward my wife has forced me to use every sick hour we get. In other words, those who don’t abuse the sick policy will still get accused of abusing it so why not just use it all.

Admittedly, I didn't look hard, but I didn't see anything that requires you to use their form. I'd just submit what you have, as well as the bill of $100 to get reimbursed. Also remember that if you're still out, that sickness is verified, no matter how long it takes you to recover.

Unfortunately, I'm not surprised and suspect it will get worse during negotiations. What base?

FYI, if you do preposted sick, the CPO is turning it into a PD/S at the moment. (I had a need for a hard to get into specialist come up, and only day available was last day of a RES block)

That does not sound like a PD/S by the PWA (“ordinary preventative care”).
