It is not standard nor is it better than the rest of the industry. The company can and will at their discretion have you evaluated by a physician of their choice.
You get more point for being sick on a holiday 😏 which are normally during flu season. You fly around the world, different hotel beds, countries where you are exposed to more crap than the average 9 to 5 worker, but you get points for being sick. Our exposure and risk is elevated but almost every airline has some trigger that requires the pilot to provide documentation for a sick call. It seems a though the trigger at Purple is pretty close to the other 3 airlines that I worked for. Delta used to have a no sick note policy for the first 100 hours of sick that they used, but they gave that up in their last contract. Now they’ve got a look back like most other carriers. -UA |

I addressed most of what you just said. I agree with you often but maybe read what I actually wrote.

I am not sure the exact fix, but this seems like something to be fixed in the next contract. Maybe just removing the mini-RLG folks from that sick leave paragraph.
No disrespect intended but ROFLMAO! Just like all the other issues our union promised to fix but repeatedly failed too; 4A2B, FDA, improved retirement benefits, contract language that FedEx attorneys can drive a Mack truck through, sick bank usage, First Class deadheading, etc. I've come to the conclusion that if my union recommends it, I'm voting against it assuming I'm even afforded that opportunity! |
