TSA has no current formal policy, but did just sent out a memo saying that if people don't stop calling in sick so suspiciously, they'd have to start a comprehensive program (ostensibly to harass everyone).

The sorts of suspicious activity they cite, you ask? "Calling in sick for days of work between two periods of days off".

Would that have to be in writing? What about a "verbal warning?" A meeting?

I have no idea. That's the best information I can find on it.

I don't even know what my sick policy is and I don't care. If I'm sick I'm sick and I will not be flying an airplane.

I.M.S.A.F.E.

4 sick calls in a rolling calendar year: verbal warning
5 sick calls: written warning
6 sick calls: term warning
7 sick calls: ??? Don't know. They say no one has ever been fired for this.

Two hours minimum preferred call out.

Sick calls accompanied by a doctor's note does not count. They can ask for a doctor's note though if you don't have one. Don't have to explain anything to schedulers or Cheif pilots.

Each sick call can be extended to 14 days and will only count as one sick call.

After about 6 call outs in a 12 month time frame they call you in at our company. It used to be they would call you on the phone, but now they bring you in for a carpet dance. First offense is a written verbal warning. Second is a written warning. Third is a final written warning. Then threat of termination.
