It's a level playing field
in law whether you like it or not. I've got young children and I'm forever catching things off them. Do you think if I'm selected by easyJet in a few weeks I will get a pass because I'm exposed to more germs?
Some people are going to be off sick more than others through no fault of their own and they'll get thrown out with the chancers. It's tough luck but it's legal. I'm not supporting it, I'm just saying that is why Balpa will not force easyJet to remove the sickness criteria if they don't want to.
