"As many times as you're sick. Don't let these scumbags intimidate you"
We don't know where the OP works. We don't know if he's got a contract. It sounds like he can be asked for a docs note. I'd say he could be fired if he violates whatever policy this airline has. You can jump up and down all day long and say how illegal it is, but how is that gonna help the guy if he gets fired. You gonna pay his legal expenses? This is a crazy wacked out business, and I'm sure people have been fired for sick leave abuse is the past. If there was ever a good reason for a union and a contract, this is it.
To the OP. You need to find out exactly what the policy is. Five times a year sounds about average and if they are giving people crap for going over that, I guess it's their business. If you work for a company with no union, I guess there isn't much you can do about it than to understand company policy to a T. If PCL is willing to pay your legal bills, then maybe you got a shot at taking them to court over it. You could talk to your POI at the FAA, but I doubt it would really do any good.
