There are a bunch of new scheduler and they have NO idea what they are doing, many coming from other departments in the company.
All the other responses to your question are spot on.
Call the union, why bother with the Chief Pilots.

If you are sick, you are sick. Follow the recommendations in the "scheduling alert" and there should be no issues.

Stating that you can no longer "fart with confidence" always seems to work

Probably less trouble from the CP for doing so than using the commuting policy.
