What specific section of the 8900.1 are you talking about? Since it took the place of the 8300 and 8400, both multi-thousand page references, I don't have time to read through the entire tome.

At a previous airline we had a similar policy of requiring doctor notes for sick calls. I had this exact discussion with our POI on how the company was able to legally do this. He said that even though he disagreed with the policy there was nothing the FAA could do until someone was disciplined for calling in sick. According to him getting a letter from the company wasn't enough, someone would need to be suspended or terminated. I'm not saying I agree with this interpretation or the policy, but that's what I was told.

I wonder if targeting people for additional checkrides would be something the FAA considers disciplinary. Seems as if it surely would.

A doctor and a lawyer
A doctor and a lawyer were talking at a party. Their conversation was constantly interrupted by people describing their ailments and asking the doctor for free medical advice. After an hour of this, the exasperated doctor asked the lawyer, "What do you do to stop people from asking you for legal advice when you're out of the office?"
"I give it to them," replied the lawyer, "and then I send them a bill." The doctor was shocked, but agreed to give it a try. The next day, still feeling slightly guilty, the doctor prepared the bills. When he went to place them in his mailbox, he found a bill from the lawyer.
