I have been placed under the new absence management policy. I triggered stage one through long term sickness and loss of my medical.
I returned to work faced with a formal meeting and the prospect of triggering stage two if I had so much as cold over the next 6 months.
What a lovely welcome back.
I would be spending the next 6 months worried about going sick or reporting when not fit and generally feeling bitter about the whole thing. However, because of what has happened to me lately I looked at the bigger picture:
Health first
Licence second
Job third.
Thats right, BA came last in my simple list of priorities.
I think it is about time we (the BA pilot workforce) stopped feeling threatened by these pathetic management schemes and stood up for ourselves. With the help of BALPA.
Grrr...
