Amazing how you people start talking about calling in sick as a form of protest, when you can't even start with a simple step like saying no to a call on a G day, or refusing to extend your duty time when some flight is delayed! Too afraid to take individual action? Does the money involved speak louder? Or the good appraisal for a future promotion, perhaps?
A sick leave is something serious that everyone is entitled to and should be regarded as so. Using this benefit to a different purpose (no matter how just it might be) is only going to diminish the pilots' credibility (which is already at its lowest). Should I remind you of the way sick leave is already being used and abused by some... should I go any further?
