No you do not. You must be out for 3+ days. If you just have a 24 or 48 hour thing, then you DO NOT qualify.
Exactly. Make sure you are out for 3+ days if you call in sick. And by out, I mean unavailable, so even if you have a day off, be sure to call back "in" after 3 days, and put those dates on the FMLA paperwork. You don't have to miss 3 days of work, just be unavailable for 3 days. Like most bureaucracies, you have to make your situation fit into the system.
For those who can't get a doctor to sign, you need to get a doctor that understands the FAA and the medical regs.
