Default VIGILINT Dr C

I popped Covid positive just before NYE. Dr C from VIGILINT answered my questions at 4 am.

He was professional the whole time, answered my questions at 2 pm a few days later

More than a few days after that, he had a truthful discussion with me at 5 pm about the FX process to get back on the line.

In times where answers might be lacking, Dr C took the time to give me nuanced answers about COVID with regards to FX and flying. He was available when I wanted him to be.

Thanks, Dr C, I owe you a beer and a steak…not necessarily in that order.

Correct, Stan
VIGILINT provides the paperwork to give to HW to get back on status.

Dr C is the guy at VIGILINT who provides the paperwork to give to HW to get back on status.

The paperwork Dr C provides releases you from isolation/quarantine. HW clears you back on status. HW will not clear you back on status unless you have paperwork from a doctor…
VIGILINT’s Dr C is the company provided doctor.

I assume you can use another doc, but Dr C already knows which forms to provide you to get cleared back on status by HW.

So I need to call Dr. C if I want to accelerate my ability to get back and do draft/ava? Oh, I am sure many want to have Dr.C on speed dial.

Whats the rush to get back when you are paid to be at home with Covid positive regardless of vaccination status?

I tested pos at 4 am in Indy. The call to him is the first step on the checklist after a positive test.

We are pay protected for trips already on the calendar. We do get paid an R day for days without an event, but only up to 14 days after the test and if you are quarantined/isolated in the field.

I returned home after the CDC recommended 5 day isolation period and the R days/per diem stopped.

Get well soon! My point is you can be pay protected up to 60 days. Section B.3 of the Medical MOU

3. A pilot who is symptomatic per the applicable SAFO/CDC (currently SAFO 20009) shall notify the Company and will be placed in a sick status. If the pilot is diagnosed with Covid-19 (symptomatic or asymptomatic), he will be Pay Protected until authorized to return to work.
a. The Company will exercise reasonable efforts to expedite Covid-19 testing and/or return to work clearance of pilots who are symptomatic.
b. The pilot shall have all sick hours restored based on a positive Covid-19 diagnosis.
c. A pilot diagnosed with Covid-19 will be Pay Protected for the duration of his COVID-19 infectious period up to a maximum of 60 days, after which he will be placed into sick status.

for once I agree with Noworkallplay…take your time getting back and be free of symptoms. No need to drag your body down doing night hub turns! But I think Noworkallplay‘s notion is right. A lot of dudes coming back early to scratch their AVA & draft itch. Money is flowing right now.
