Whilst in no way supporting this daft policy of crew reporting at the clinic, perhaps you need to ask yourself why it's been instigated? I've flown with many a crew who've shown me their roster and openly stated that certain flights will be missed due 'sickness'. They're quite open about it and demonstrates what Oblaaspop alludes to in his post. There is generally a different professional attitude amongst junior cabin crew towards the job than their seniors and the majority of pilots. If they didn't chuck a sick every few months, this draconian policy wouldn't be required. Funny, the sickness rate has more than halved from what I hear since its inception.
I do, however, feel sorry for those genuinely sick so maybe your angst should be focused to those selfish sods who spoil it for everyone else.
