It does appear more and more that there is a substantial medical expense on the companies balance sheet. That is hardly surprising since they had tens of thousands of employee’s, however these expenses are then focused on the ones that needed medical assistance. It is blatantly obvious the major criteria for redundancy was some form of medical expense, be it surgery or cancer. Merely getting rid of these ‘sickies’ doesn't say anything for future medical expenses with the remaining staff. All it does is reduce any reported sickness and means people are flying with conditions that they legally shouldn’t be at work for, including COVID-19 in todays pandemic world order. Hardly a safety culture, and I am surprised If other aviation authorities are not looking on with critical eyes.
