Maybe it’s just my base, but I feel like the current management team at AA is really hands off with us, compared to some stories I hear from buddies at other major carriers.
Captains have told me it hasn’t always been this way, but at least right now I feel I can call in when I’d like without worrying about getting a phone call about it, let alone something stupid like needing to provide a note.

Every one of us always has a doctor’s note in our possession . Each time you get your medical your AME (a medical doctor) signed his name on that document. The FAR’s referenced on that document state that you cannot fly in a medically deficient state. Federal law associated with the possession of a FAA medical permits you on an individual basis to determine your fitness for flight.
If your company ever asks you for a doctor’s note just send them a copy of your medical signed by your AME and remind them that they already have your “doctor’s note” on file.

I’m not reimbursed for my time to go the doctor. If I have allergies that are blocking my sinuses and preventing me to fly, I don’t need a doctor to tell me to take Allegra. Further, that doctor visit I don’t need is going to cost me about $100-$150 out of my HSA. Company going to reimburse me for that??
Someone calls in sick for Christmas, than the Super Bowl, than Fourth of July... okay, that’s a pattern.

Well see, that is the whole point of this thread. I am trying to find a company that respects my right to be off sick and won't harass me over that ...

Show me a CBA or FOM that says sick time accrual is pay so you can see a doctor.
