Yowza, sounds like a considerable amount. What type of numbers are we talking about for those not privy to this last weeks spike?

An amount significant enough to trigger multiple crew notifications from CRS about picking up trips.

When the memo first came out it said "100 have tested positive since Christmas Day." I've heard that number has tripled.

Who's side are you on?

If I get a "close contact" at work, it's not my fault. It is the risk of doing the job that the company wants me to do. I should NOT have to give up sick leave for that.

That excuse might have worked a year ago, but if you haven’t been vaccinated at this point, it’s most definitely your problem.

The idea here is to not come to work sick and/or contagious, I don’t care how many are taking advantage of it, I don’t want anyone pressured to come to work if they have COVID or suspect they might because of a close contact...and if they start taking it out of your sick bank, people will come to work contagious and it’s just gonna get worse...end of story

Omicron doesn’t care about anyone’s vaccine status. If you feel sick…don’t come to work.

Who is saying to come to work if you are sick?

Hopefully no one. Also, hopefully no one is abusing the current COVID protocols. If they are, they are putting a really good job on the line.
None of the rules are secret. Fortunately FedEx is allowing pilots to make their own healthcare choices. Omicron may well end this whole stupid nightmare. Let’s hope so.
