Back when I first read this as proposed language I thought to myself, "Gee, I wonder what the Vice President of Flight Operations will decide when it's us against Management? Hmmm?"

Yep ... I guessed right!*? I'm surprised they didn't just fire everybody and tell them to grieve it?

We should celebrate with another Family Awareness event complete with bounce houses, rock climbing, and face painting.

Informational picketing might hurt somebody's feelings.

How do you propose to do that?

Last I checked, I'm still responsible for deductibles, coinsurance, and copays.

Our SCP wants to know what's bothering us.

Maybe he should pull his head out and look around.

It is my understanding they are essentially self insuring so they do pay. Perhaps we can request a battery of tests to rule out black death every time your hay fever kicks up. Maybe the union can run up a sample list of tests to check for that wont run up your copay.

Dear Doctor Dewivedi,

My company demands proof that I have visited a Doctor for my cold, please provide me a sick note. While I am here it would probably be prudent to check for black death, scurvy, malaria, whooping cough, rabies, menopause, low T, lead poisoning or any other tests that you can think of to help you make your car payment.

Sincerely,

FDX MEC Pilot
