Correct. That is the two days
after your last episode of vomiting/diarrohea. If you are ill for 6 days then you feel fine you must take another 2 days to comply with FCO. You must be clear of symptoms for 48hrs before you can fly again.
So it is actually easier and less problematic for someone to throw in a sickie for 48 hours claiming to have had gastro-intestinal problems than for someone to be genuinely ill.
I wish I knew who is the idiot who got a huge bonus for coming up with such a ridiculous idea fo the EG300. While it can work for people on the ground, they have to realise that it simply cannot work for people in the air!!
