I know it's a pain in the butt, but just go to a CVS MinuteClinic or something similar. The note only needs to say that you visited the office, not why or anything about your condition.

"A Chief Pilot or senior management official may require a pilot who is on sick leave to furnish a physician's statement verifiying the illness or injury. The cost of such verification will be handled in accordance with the Medical Plan."
Well guess that means they can require a note and I would have to pay for it.

Dude minute clinic is a cheap easy way to get a doctors note (and all that without an appointment). Sure it takes a few minutes out of your day, but its a lot easier than trying to get into a Dr.'s office. Not to mention they provide many if not all of the same services if its things like cold/flu/allergies/etc. They also accept most insurance companies, so its worth the co-pay if its gonna save you from a fun carpet dance...

Not sure about other places, but here at Eagle there has to be a serious suspicion of abuse before it would ever come to that. Even then they would just have you go to our AMR doctor's office at HQ.
On another note, I had a Skywest jumpseater the other day. Poor guy has been with them for 4 years, still on Reserve and has a 3rd circle of hell schedule that goes something like 6 on 2 off. Plus he commutes.
He said that this past year alone he has called in sick 36 times.
