Copied from another thread because it's that important. I'm not a DAL pilot but feel strongly enough because I've seen the ramifications to share my opinion.
"We have a similar system at ExpressJet to track absences. It uses FMLA criteria to determine whether an absence is excused. There is almost absolute disapproval, not because the absence doesn't qualify but because t's and i's haven't been dotted and crossed. You normally have to follow up and appeal to get an absence approved.
They also used to out-source the function to an "objective" third party; F and H solutions. We are all familiar with them.
Do not allow them to enact this abysmal policy on you."

The verification form is the same basic form that is in place today. The verification will be Dr. to Dr. (Dr. Faulkner and Delta Health Services from what I understand). It takes verification out of the Chief Pilot's office (or Bob from India) which I believe is a good thing!!
The new, more intrusive form will be compulsory.
Second, thanks for the sneaky language ref: Faulkner "currently" DHS. But it has been confirmed on that he will not be anywhere involved in this new process.
Good thing we aren't being fed a sales job.

IMO, two potential issues with the above post:
1. Delta Healthcare Services (DHS) ??? Is that like Delta Connection, INC (DCI) or Delta Ground Services (DGS)? These outfits are not RD. They are faux Delta. They are bargain basement outfits. It gives us a false sense of comfort when the name Delta is used as a prefix. If we are going to go through this fecal maze, we should be dealing with fellow Delta Air Lines employees. (RD not faux D)
2. Dr Faulkner is a good guy. One day he will leave or he could be told that his unit (DHS) will now be run out of Bombay. He might not want to relocate....

First. The new form is more intrusive than the current form...WHICH IS NOT EVEN REQUIRED FOR VERIFICATION APPROVAL.

I would like to know where it is confirmed that Dr. Faulkner and Delta Health Services will not be part of the verification process. Thanks

Hix,
Why is DHS an ok outfit to deal with? The "Delta" prefix doesn't make it real Delta anymore than Delta Connection is RD.
