I wouldn't say he was gracious but, he knew I was right. He should've never showed up. I didn't get sick from him.

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.

Thank goodness we have the CPO to help us "understand." After all, they're just trying to help, right?
