As an 88 FO I put up with sniffling, coughing and sneezing captains for 10 long years. I took numerous colds home to be shared with my wife and daughter. Well no more. I'm posting notice of my sick personal sick leave abuse policy now that I occupy the left seat. Show up sick to fly with me and I'm having you pulled from the trip. No joke. No excuses. Please make the call. BEFORE the trip. You aren't doing anybody any favors coming to work when you are not 100%. No your fellow crewmwmbers or your passengers. |
Never got sick flying with FOs that are sick and said they were on a GS or WS, just saying.:rolleyes:

Happens twice a year around here, once when it goes from cold to hot to cold to hot to cold to hot in the Spring and reverse it in the fall. In Gawga, it's one or the other, very little transition. I'm on vacation and sick, too. My son and I have a horrible cough. My wife thinks I need to go to quick care. She thinks I'm getting pneumonia. Sucks not feeling well on vacation. I doubt I'll get out of going to the in-laws for T-day though, no matter how sick I am. At least I'm on my wife's BCBS insurance, so at least I have that going for me. |

You mean it's not $180 to go to the Doc in a Box?

I'm glad those Mentors above are teaching our new hires correctly, but that was not the case for the individual I flew with.

It is amazing to me how many pilots are sick when you come to work. From the time you sign in, to the time you leave, all you hear is coughing, sneezing, and people blowing their nose. What's up with all the sick pilots? I know the company has scared a lot of guys into flying sick, but it is getting out of control. I bet 50% of the time of fly the other pilot has some type of cold.
