Sickies
Hi flying fox,
Operations should NOT be asking you what is wrong with you when you call in sick.
The FAAA puts out memo's every so often advising us that all crewing need to know is that you are sick and will be off from work for 'x' amount of days.
My sick notes do usually have a brief description of what has been wrong with me when I have been sick. i.e. URTI but these go straight to a PDM (at Qantas anyway) and crewing don't get to see them.
If your crewing dept. are continually asking people whats wrong with them you need to contact the FAAA immediately so they can, yet again, pass on the message to ops.
