Attendance tracking

I wonder how much more sick I get from commuting than I do just being at work itself. Then again my first full year of flying at a regional was the same, sick almost once a month. I forgot to track my abysmal sick time bank and was in for a shock when I got a 2 week paycheck for about $200 once.

You were calling in sick monthly? Let’s get you to the doctor, man! :)

I’m gonna jinx myself but surprisingly I haven’t been extraordinarily sick since i started the airline thing. Maybe I’m pre-immunized by having 3 germ factories at home, or maybe the medevac birds were just grosser than I imagined.

It’s like clockwork in my house. My wife gets something from the nephews who have perpetually snotty noses. I wait about a week after she’s sick and think I’m in the clear, then bam, my turn.

I’m not even sure how to ask. Sounds weird.

But then the purpose is to serve as a disincentive for sick leave abuse, so many we should tar and feather our colleagues who use that and fatigue calls strategically for schedule improvement.

I guess I should more accurately say it’s in the contract that they can require doctors notes during low staffing periods. We get emails that say if you call out during a specified time frame that you must provide a doctors note at the company’s expense.

I just get them no matter what just to cover myself.

I’m with you on calling out colleagues. Over Thanksgiving we get paid double working over the holidays. On reserve I didn’t get used once. The very day they stopped paying the holiday pay I get called and now they can’t get enough of me. Guess my colleagues can be sick again 🙄

We have holiday pay in our new contract and, low and behold, the numbers of questions circulation social media about “I have a trip over Christmas next month, if I call in sick, do I still get holiday pay?”

Bruh, it’s the middle of November….

Truth.

“Oh the company would never read this”

I assure you, they do. And tend to lie in wait until you do something supremely stupid and EVERYTHING gets laid out, in print, on 8.5x14 sheets with numbers along the left margin.

Axxxxxxxxxe me how I know. :)

And rule #1, if the they're asking you a question at the big long table and you're without a bottle of water, they already know the answer.

I flew with an FO that had flown with @Cherokee_Cruiser. It came up in conversation because he was telling me about an LAX captain that showed him how to bid and tricks to make more money.

This FO had CC in very high esteem, and he respected him a lot because CC helped him out. I was impressed.

Secret story, CC has a pretty good method for making it rain down there, and is very helpful IRL. I don't think any of us are our real selves on the internet. But the fun thing is we are all 737 pilots at the same company on JC for some reason. Or this other gross runner up for Seattle hometown airline :) I feel like they need their own chat......
