We keep hearing about the small minority that supposedly abuses sick leave. I'd like to bring up the other side of the coin, pilots that fly sick.
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.

I'm on vacation this week but I and the other 3 in my house are sick. I'm contemplating going to the Doctor tomorrow. Just costs so damn much for nothing but this thing has moved into my chest.
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.

$10 copay, my brother. And the insurance is through her union. She's a waitress. My wife's servers union (Unite here) is more valuable to my family than ALPA, and I pay a lot more in dues than she does. She pays $30 month for a family of 4. But it's going up to $85 a month next year.

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.
