Heard this on a flight the other day. Typical of the policies here and how people think around it. As we know if the cabin crew call sick up to four hours before a flight they are marked absent. Also for them to get a short notice appointment at the clinic ( not nurse advice but a doc) is difficult.
the sollution I was told by a member of the cc , "no problem I'll just go to work sick , seeing as though I am going to be marked absent anyway I will just "go sick" on the flight and when I get to Singapore ( destination) I will have the EK Doctor come and visit me in my hotel room at my leisure , and besides the Doctors in Singapore are better than Dubai and no waiting for an appointment.
Cant blame them for this sort of logic , what worries me is how sick they really might be. All we need is a diversion enroute because of a draconian policy. Keep discovering ...........
