He will give you 3-20 days off,

Rinse and repeat. If you hit stage 1, rinse and repeat
This policy will have the desired effect in making people think twice before using a PRA. It's not as simple as rinse and repeat. Even a 30% reduction in sickness rate will be a win for them.
Call in sick 1 day at a time......See the doctor, follow the ANO, and voila, nothing happens, because you followed the rules. Simple.
Au contraire, they'll just introduce an amended policy stating each separate call will be treated as a NEW event, then eventually they will have a very compliant pilot group.
The point here is they've done whatever they want, and they'll keep doing whatever they want until we PARK airplanes. Simple!
