I highly doubt that we have a significantly greater percentage of sick abusers than AA, UA, WN, or even the rest of the nation’s workforce (including our management). What IS unique to Delta is that we experience a far greater rate of sick call harassment than other majors. That’s completely unacceptable in my view.
Do you think there is any difference in "abuse" if one system is "use it or lose it" and another syatem is sick leave accrual which can be cashed out at a later date?
Does it constitute "sick leave abuse" when under a sick accrual system and you DO NOT call in sick when you have the "sniffels" because you want to build your sick leave bank?
Is it more abusive to call in sick when not personally sick (but you need that day off for.... reasons) under one system vice the other, or is it the same level of abuse?

I know this doesn't fix the overall issue and I agree with your sentiment. However, I've had good luck in doing visits via video chat. Even did it for a covid visit. One of the nice things to come out of CV19, is that many offices started e-visits. My doc prefers it so I don't get other patients sick."

Last time I checked, Delta specifically does not accept virtual doctor appointments. And in the case of a COVID test, Delta wants them to be proctored, so at home test over your phone wouldn't count. Then you have the added complication of getting the sick verification note to the doctor to fill out and send back to you.
They accepted mine. When did you check last and where does it say that? At the time last fall, the company actually provided a link for a company that provided online porctored covid tests. Covid test aside, how do they know you did a tele-visit, the note the Dr provides is the same. Tests can be proctored online.

Just expired on TO and landing currency. Submitted the form 21 days out, so should be fine, but this is definitely a first for me. Not a peep from the company. Before I expired, I was getting GS calls that I was going to be expired for. I declined them because I assume that is a big no-no, but I am curious if now that I am expired, am I going to keep getting called for GS/regular reserve assignments, or is the system smart enough to not try to use me until training notices and sends me to the sim (not the slightest clue how long that will be).

It went away either with the 96 or 01 contract. You also got the 48 prior to your primary vacation off with pay. Effectively a loss of 5 paid days off.
