2. 5 sick calls in a rolling 12 month period triggers a CPO call and entry into the lowest level of the company reliability program.
3. Dr note may be required for any sick calls over a company holiday or around vacation.

Both may be safely filed under the "Things that may be safely ignored." category.

This isn't grade school and we're not children. If you don't feel well enough to go to work, you drop a dime. Period. If confused, refer to the regs.
5 hours per month accrual SL. What a joke.
All of the rest is just chaff. Don't fall for it, don't even consider it. Don't be a Loopner.
(I realize that I am coming across as a condescending sphincter, but years of flying with sniffling, bubonic, infectious, pestilential cowards has decimated my diplomacy)

Meanwhile I got no OJI rollover boost in the sick bank with the last contract (because they cut out OJI for new hires back in '04) and struggle because 5 hours a month won't build up Jack.
My biggest heartburn about the current contract.
