With all this CPP stuff... many regional guys are afraid to even call in sick. Can't refuse an aircraft for a deferred APU and risk the chance of a suspension or even reprimand ending up in your file. That doesn't look good on a mainline app (if warranted or not). Some people complain about the quality of the candidates, but the reality is that the process rewards people for keeping their head down and not making waves.

How many thousands of pilots are still at UAL that voted to expand allowable contracted flying from a max of 70 seats to 76 seats?
These pilots who voted to increase outsourcing were young, middle aged, and old. Some of them are whining now about Houston mainline flying going away.
Clueless masses!

Last year, the spring announcement of the CPP got the XJT group to NOT call in sick over the summer at the same rate as previous summer.
THEN, UAL/BK bungle the CPP program last summer/fall, the natives grow restless when it's revealed what a fecal pageant the CPP is. So they come out with the "enhanced CPP" for this summer.
Can't......reach......carrot.......

Baby eyes rolled to the back of the head 
sounds like the onset of a heat stroke. Blow a slide and get arrested. The police have to provide assistance if someone is near death and this would certainly qualify. As for the charges, let a jury of your peers decide. All it takes is one to sympathize.

In a case of airstairs, the pax could walk off on their own.

Sounds like this. My son had one. Pretty scary. He was running a high temp and boom. ER visit and spinal tap to confirm not meningitis. Changed the way we handled fevers in our kids.
Febrile seizures occur in 2 to 4 percent of children younger than five years old. They can be frightening to watch, but do not cause brain damage or affect intelligence. Having a febrile seizure does not mean that a child has epilepsy; epilepsy is defined as having two or more seizures without fever present.
Simple febrile seizure
The setting is fever in a child aged 6 months to 5 years
The single seizure is generalized and lasts less than 15 minutes
The child is otherwise neurologically healthy and without neurologic abnormality by examination or by developmental history
Fever (and seizure) is not caused by meningitis, encephalitis, or any other illness affecting the brain
Pediatric febrile seizures, which represent the most common childhood seizure disorder, exist only in association with an elevated temperature. Evidence suggests, however, that they have little connection with cognitive function, so the prognosis for normal neurologic function is excellent in children with febrile seizures.

We (pax) didn't know about this pack inop (temp was ok @ boarding) until we started taxiing and everyone started complaining & then the Captain announces it on the the PA. I went up to him after landing & recommended getting it fixed now before another media storm occurs with a young kid or elderly person.
