All,
Just to let you know, they didn't disallow any of my episodes of sickness and diahorrea. So therefore my two episodes put me in stage one. Oh goodie. I was told they would only discount with a doctors cert, and as I was off for only three days at a time I didn't have one. Next time however I will go to the docs and they will probably sign me off for longer. They just want to shoot themselves in the foot.
I am also away from work at the moment with an injury sustained at work, so guess who's going into stage two
The whole process is silly and it obviously isn't having the desired affect as sickness in most fleets is still as high as ever. Everything is put down to care and concern but we all know the real reason
Just let them try and dismiss for sickness though
Court of Human Rights springs to mind
Please do not let the fear of going sick stop any of you from going sick when you are. The FCO states that you must only fly if you are fit to do so. Signing in when you are not is contravening the FCO's. Please do not do it, isn't fair on you, your colleagues or the passengers.
