Contact the CPO and you can be placed on sick leave for as long as you need. It will only be recorded as one attendance event. After all sick time has been used you can go on FMLA. If it is determined that you can not perform your duties as a pilot you can receive LTD payments (I am assuming you carry the LTD coverage). LTD payments are also tax free. Your ALPA rep. can help you in the right direction if you need to progress further than just using sick time.
