Intimidation on sick calls is completely bogus. CMR did the same thing a while back. A few guys got sent to see an FAA doc after what the company felt were "suspicious" sick calls. Of course they got sent to the doc the next time they showed up to work, which by itself means you've already self-certified that you're well and ready to fly.
The guys that got tagged got pulled off their trips and pay-protected. What, like the doc can prove you weren't sick last week? Maybe you had a bad headache or intestinal problems that day.
Sure, there were a few guys that called in an awful lot. Don't want us to call in? Let me cash out my sick bank when I leave.
For those with recurring health problems, (bad back from swinging that heavy flight case perhaps) FMLA might be worth the trouble. Once the paperwork is done, you can call in whenever you want and they can't touch you...
Be safe!
