Just to get back to the thread 100 pilots sick, I believe there must be some truth in it, as my semi military contracting firm has now decided to email all pilots that if we go sick even for one day that we must go to our original aeromedical doctor to sign us off. Even to a normal doctor for a cold for one day this is not acceptable, it now is with the companys AME in dubai and as all the pilots and myself live in Al ain it can be slightly difficult.
