Shiz,let me throw this in the pot. Someone mentioned here being able to trade sick hours as a paid apd for qualified personal drop such as a family medical issue (sick or hospitalized kid, spouse, etc). Something that's verifiable and approved but doesn't meet the definition of you being the one that is sick.

If you want to keep the current sick leave policy, you could change everyone's reset date to their birthday. It may not solve any abuse problem but you wouldn't have such a massive amount of sick calls during the April-May timeframe. It would also make it easier to identify any abuser.

Although, now that I think about it, as more states start to have "family care" laws that let you use sick time for a family member it might be wasted negotiating capital if we get it via a gov't action in the future.

There was a FO at NWA that had a program that you could enter today's date, your retirement date, current accrued sick leave and how many hours you wanted to get paid per month and it would calculate the day you could go out sick and use your last amount of sick leave the day before you had to retire.

Here is a monthly bidding question for those who bid reserve. First of all the parameters are a max of 3 groups of X days, min 4 days to max 99 days on call. Now the question.
If I have 2 days on call a the end of the month, say 28 Feb thru 01 Mar, can I bid 02-03 Mar as X days or do they automatically have to be on call days because of the min 4 days on call parameter? Thx

I like having my X days at the end of the month, so when I greenslip I get PB days in my bank. Then the next month you bid blocks of 3 days on call, put your PB days on the 2nd day on call, you are now only good for a day trip which usually gives you all 3 days off for 1 PB day. Great QOL tip

No wonder we get "cost neutral" contracts.

It goes a lot better when you add something meaningful instead of unadulterated douchebaggery.

Ah, some ALPA arrogance.
In shiznit's ALPA-centric world, if you're not bringing meaningful concessions to the table or solving the company's problems, you're a douchebag.

How about we just leave the sick policy right the way it is. Its fine. Even if there are a few abusers that amount is small. I like the flexibility we have with the 100 hrs unver, yet it isn't so onerous on either party cause its only 100 hour's. Its fair to both sides.
