Lots of discussion here and elsewhere is ignoring inflation. It's easy to go here and ask yourself if it might actually be relevant to EVERY TA discussion:

A truly excellent suggestion!

The union says that our sick calls have gone up by 30% according to the company. The unions response was to give them whatever they wanted.
I wonder if the union even though to say " ok the sick calls are up 30%, thats great, that means we have 30% fewer pilots going to work sick.
Even our union assumes they are all sick abusers! Actually, its very probable that our sick policy is keeping pilots who ARE sick out of the cockpit.

I would put the blame on the cheaters that are screwing this up for everyone. Talk to a line check airman to find out about how hot Anderson is about sick leave, then you can get an idea on whether or not there is an agreement to be had in the near future without changes to sick leave. In the end, I just don't see a motivation for the company to dig into all my personal records. They just want you to prove you are sick because lots of guys are lying about it now. The fault is with the liars.
If there is a problem, why doesn't RA put it out to the pilots...since he does not have an issue spewing the info to the LCA's. RA and the executive team can come to work even though they may not be completely well. We do not have that luxury. There should be no reason to dig into the personal medical records of any pilot.

Anyway, calling my union brothers and sister liars and cheats and then using that justification to hurt the rest of us makes you a sell out.
