Fill out an ASAP report on why you are being harassed on a sick call. It will get the FAA involved, and that is always fun for the company.

You really want to throw a turd in the companies punch bowl?? Have you or your spouse get in contact with your district US Congressman. Advise your representative of the companies shenanigans and its direct conflict with the regulations on fitness to fly. US Reps and their staff usually have plenty of time on their hands to come to the aid of one of their constituents. Plus election are alway just right around the corner.

Truth be told ... I think that ALPA is one of the largest PAC's in the country. They might be inclined to contact their FAA POCs for clarification?

I've had good luck solving "big gub'ment" issues by contacting my Congressman (and when my email got hacked recently I had 3 different folks from my Congressman's office call to make sure I was OK).

ALPA settled with FDX on the sick leave grievance, current policy is the result. You want the PAC to work against the union?

There's only one group to fix this. It's us. Fdx will NEVER listen or acquiesce to the union.

No - they want the whole union to work FOR THEM.

In the "settlement", ALPA still did not get the specifics on what formula/algorithm/ criteria they are using to request you provide a note.

Ask your ALPA reps ---they still don't know how it's done...just that it's been dialed back

Of course, that's true....until sometime in the future, when it isn't.

I agree there's a third party with a vested interest here --- the FAA

ALPA needs to bring them in the loop on this --- it is defintely a safety issue!
