Was there an incapacitation or something that prompted the four mentioned in the article to be investigated? Doesn't say in the article that I recall.

Was he actually sick? As in unable to fly? If he actually was sick (unable to fly), what would be wrong with going into his unit for ground duty? I can think of a score of reasons why someone would call in sick for their airline job/take themselves off the flying schedule at their Guard/Reserve unit but still be able to come in and man a shop, do LMS, etc.

Now if he had a broken hand or some such non-contagious ailment that simply downed him from flying, that seems reasonable to pull man-days at the office - so long as they just drop mil-leave at their employer. |

They bragged, eh? Maybe “thumper” and “fig leaf” were telling the truth, or maybe you revealed where your goat was tied and they decided to get it. ;)

"Safe Pilot"
The FAA has been working to develop the "safe pilot" program since 2005. The Office of the Inspector General for the Social Security Administration (SSA) cross-checks randomly selected applicants for FAA airman medical certificates with the SSA disability database to determine if any applicants are receiving disability benefits from SSA.

In the case of Cooper vs the FAA, which was the result of Operation Safe Pilot (when the FAA cross referenced social security disability records with the pilot database), the defendant did not report HIV on his medical and he was slapped with two years of probation and a $10,000 fine, plus loss of his certificates for a time period (later reinstated). I am not sure what the other penalties were for more egregious omissions.
