Professor,
I am assuming that is your answer to my question WRT DHS and Delta being the same company.
IMO, they are not. They are a third party that just happens to be owned by Delta. Delta Air Lines just happened to have the smarts to put "Delta" in the name to make it look and feel like it's the same. Sort of like painting the RJ's to look like our jets.
When Delta decided to start up a third party to verify pilot sick leave they could have called it Mumbai Medical. The functioning of the company could be identical to DHS. However, the name would have been a tip off to even the most comatose kool-aid drinker.
They are a spin off for a reason.
We should be dealing with our employer for these issues.

This is all conjecture.
We are being told it's a company function.
This is all I can offer.

Go to those who crafted this TA and bring back a definitive answer. You are getting paid to come here. If you cannot bring valid, inclusive information and are only interested in pushing your agenda (trying to get this TA to pass) as a representative of DALPA, you should not be allowed to come here. This is not DALPA's person propaganda website.

It is conjecture. Would love to be wrong about this issue. Would like to see no changes to our sick policy, but if we do decide to go down this road I think we should be fully informed WRT DHS. What is the department number for DHS? thx.

I've had two bad experiences with sick leave verification. In both cases my MD's filled out sick leave verification form was "denied."
In both cases the initial support I received from ALPA was poor to non existent.
At least I was able to walk into a chief pilot's office and speak face-to-face with a fellow pilot to sort out the denial coming from a cubicle in ATL. When the people in the cubicle in ATL no longer belong to Flight-Ops, that will be a lot more difficult...

You used to be able to call in sick.
Then you needed documentation.
Then the doctors note wasn't good enough.
What's next? I really don't want to know.
