Worse still, pilots in Dubai are being discouraged from reporting sick, the former pilot claimed.
“Of course, if you’re always tired for a long period of time it also leads to sickness. In Dubai, pilots are being punished for calling in sick,” he said. “You don’t want a sick pilot to be flying an airplane, but in Dubai, if the pilot calls in sick, he will be punished: he will lose money, he will have to report, he will get a warning letter, so they’re actually actively being discouraged to call in sick.”
Sounds like CX's policies... one can lose thousands of EUR/GBP/CAD/NZD/USD when calling in sick AND be punished under the new sickness management policy.
