Agreed. If in doubt, do NOT tough it out.

But the MEC just worked it out with ALPA that sick buy back isn't subject to union dues.

Isn’t that what the O2 masks are for? I think it’s a phase one across all fleets?

Sorry to be a wet blanket, but employees in good standing do not have any penalty points on their secret profile from using sick leave. As long as employees are dis-incentivized from using sick time by the threat of discipline or a company-mandated medical evaluation by a doctor of the company's choosing, pilots will be compelled to come to work sick if in fear of retribution.

OP's beef is with the company's power (enabled by the current contract), not employees who are trying to remain out of the CP's office or a hire-or-fire medical exam that will follow one forever if terminated. Don't think I noticed removing this clause as a priority in our openers brief so one ought to make peace with the current situation.

Bottom line - don't hate the sniffles, hate the game. DR K

Make sure there are more than two people in the cockpit, then let em rip. Plausible deniability.
