Yep, and we can use their policies to our advantage as well. If you get sick and have a negative covid test, stay home until you are well and don’t report it to avoid burning more hours than you want to. If you get a positive test, then absolutely report it. If you want to stretch your sick call into 2 trips and you don’t have covid, just report your symptoms and go fishing.

Back to the TRO topic. Has the company released any statement on the ruling or their plans other than that they are pleased with the outcome? All I read is that they will allow those who were granted exemptions the opportunity to apply to other positions that don’t face the public, but nothing about when pay will be suspended or how the separation of the handful of pilots who refused to get vaccinated without an exemption will be handled.

My post was poorly worded. I will be off Christmas because I’ll just bid it off, but the way the policy is written doesn’t accomplish what they want and it opens the doors to really game the system. As written, if someone gets sick (most common illnesses share covid symptoms) and test negative, it is to their advantage to not report it to the company and just miss one trip rather than report it and be forced to burn your bank to cover any trips in a 10 day window. If the company was serious about reporting symptoms, even with a negative test, they wouldn’t force us to burn so much sick time. For those wanting to game the system, getting a large block of days off including a holiday is easy. Just report covid-like symptoms, notify the company, and then go do what you want to do.

If you get the flu and don’t report it, you can call in sick for only the time that you are actually sick. If you report the flu symptoms, practically all are shared by covid, you will have to use your sick bank for any trip inside a 10 day quarantine. For those wanting to maximize a fake sick call, the policy works to your advantage. For those who don’t want to use more time than they need, the policy is punitive and encourages people not to report covid symptoms.
