Attendance Police

They are not there to be “attendance police,” but they might be if you don't stop booking off.

Not surprised it came to this. They’ve lost virtually their entire training dept and most management/standards pilots in the last 6 months. All because they chose to cheap out and not address the very predictable staffing issues that were catching up to them.

ALPA warned them time and time again that they need to invest in their people. Wouldn’t listen. Now it’s come to intimidation tactics to try to scare people not to use their contractually awarded sick time. Guess that might stop a couple of flight cancellations in the short term.

Yikes.

Are people actually calling in sick more? Or is the effect of people calling in sick just bigger due to staffing issues?

As an AvCanada discussion grows longer:
-the probability of 'entitlement' being mentioned, approaches 1
-one will be accused of using bad airmanship

My educated guess is that it's both.

As the give a f*** factor (the group towards the company, and the company towards the group) goes down, bookoffs go up, and as they are shortstaffed they have less ability to recover.
