First of all no one has time to watch you like this. Secondly they would only watch you like this if you had a consistent pattern of calling sick/fatigued/abusing the system.

I've pretty much done everything everyone says not too do just because I'm that guy. I've not heard a peep about nothing.

These people that think the FAA & management is hiding behind every cloud should probably go see a psychiatrist or something.

I've even shared the cockpit with the knitting circle types with their tales of caution - recently it was "don't say nothing on social media, some guy said something on Facebook about XXX and I heard he got fired over it". My reply - "Really, you really think they fire people over that stuff"? Yes, was the reply. I remember when XXX happened and guess what, I just flew with that guy a month ago - we talked about this very thing, so obviously he did he not get fired...
