As of Date the company has again instituted their [attendance] procedures. This results in Flight Attendants having to jump through major hoops going to a special clinic if they call out sick. If they don't comply; they face termination. This further results in flight attendants who would rather go to work sick with the possibility that they are COVID positive than go through the process defined by the company. I myself along with many other passengers and crew have been exposed to COVID by these flight attendants in the past. I do not feel safe going to work knowing that there is a greater possibility of flight attendants who are going to work sick putting myself at greater risk of being exposed to COVID-19.
Flight Attendant reported the company attendance procedure could result in flight attendants who are COVID-19 positive reporting for work instead of calling in sick.
