Any "Latest & Greatest" about Delta?
Just got the eblast from Dalpa regarding sick leave. When we were voting for the concessionary TA, I specifically asked if the company would cover sick leave verification doctor visits. 'Yes' was the answer. Well, another lie I guess. Turns out in almost every case, it's your dime for the medical verification forms. Nothing like having to pay for using your sick leave... that's got to be an industry first! How much will we need to give up to get back to a non bankruptcy sick leave system?
That got their attention.

I have vacation next month. How exactly do I bid a reserve line if I want to slide the vacation. For example the vacation is the 11-17 but I want the 6-12. I know that I would bid slide -5 but then I want to use some of my off days around the vacation as well. So if the slide is accepted I have like the 5-13 off, but if it isn't accepted I want to bid my off days so I get the 6-10 off then start the vacation. I tried last time and my vacation wasn't slide and then all or nothings bids were all screwed up and my then start next wasn't right as well.
The balls on him! I was wondering how long it would take someone to do that.

Per PWA Section 14 F. 5., a pilot will be reimbursed reasonable expenses incurred when obtaining a doctor’s certificate that has been requested by his Chief Pilot
There are three instances in which the PWA requires a pilot to verify a sickness. Under the provisions of Section 14 F. 3., a pilot is contractually required to verify sickness if:
1. The pilot uses more than 100 hours of Sick Leave that is unverified.
2. The sickness extends to 15 or more consecutive calendar days.
3. Under the provisions of Section 14. F. 4., if the Company has a “good faith basis” reason to question a pilot’s sickness. In this situation, the company must first request the verification; then the pilot is required to submit a verification of a sickness.
If one of the above instances applies to a pilot’s sick leave usage, the pilot does not have the option to not verify. There have been several instances in which a pilot did not call in well after becoming well and has been required to verify because they reached 15 or more consecutive calendar days of sick leave.
REMINDER: Call in well when you are well.
These three instances of required sick event verification are not automatically subject to reimbursement by the Company for the cost of obtaining a doctor’s certificate.
ABOVE from the blast...
So are we changing our contract via email blast requiring us to pay for our doctor's visit if the CP wants a letter? Confused by this.

Perfect opportunity for "Else Start Next."
Bid your preferred schedule with the vacation slide you want> Assume that the slide is honored>Bid the days off as if the bid will be honored>then Bid "Else Start Next" in case the slide does not work.
You can then do the same thing with a slide -4, a slide of -3, a slide of -2 etc. This means that whatever vacation slide does go through the rest of you bid will be tailored specifically to that bid.
If you have any questions review the vacation slide memo but I recommend you call and have the PBS bid assist guy review it after you have it finalized.
