Bro, you seem to be treating this thread as your personal journal. Could you imagine what would happen if each of us listed several options for ourselves here? You didn't even ask a question.
Please start a "latest and greatest with mike" thread or throttle back on your personal stream of consciousness. Thanks.

Personal journal? From a 2,500+ poster here. Really? I can't wait for your next missive, question included, or not:
"More from Purple Drank...Master of His Domaine; A Short Story."

I used it for the wife to fly to Belize. Every time she check in they asked her if she was flying standby. Her checked bag had a stand by tag on it when she pick it up. I will not use it again.

Great. I guess I should have attended every LEC meeting to get the info. I have never seen a contract awareness bulletin or any such communication from ALPA or the company that states how they track sick leave. Maybe there has been one and I missed it though. I sure do hear a lot about how we use more than everyone else though.
Why won't the company put the data of sick usage from our peers with what we use and how they compare us in one of their communications that states we use way more than everyone else? Seems that would most likely silence all the critics if it is true and based just on sick bank hour usage.

It isn't really ALPA's job to communicate to us how the company tracks our sick leave usage. Besides, it could change. What they did do, however, is approve the method by which our sick leave is verified, and allow for a burden of proof to be put on the pilot. That, in my mind, was a concession. It was one major reason I voted against C2012. And I don't use a lot of sick leave.
A lot of people said it was not going to be an issue. Well, apparently it is. And it's getting more so. I think a more productive question to ask is; what is the union going to do about this in the next agreement? I suppose that depends on a few things, namely, our input, the company's desires, and the negotiators ability to get something done about it. If you didn't fill out the survey or you don't let your reps know how you feel about filling out doctor's forms, then don't complain.
I do think we should transition to a paid sick leave bank that we control. I know people think that other guys will show up sick. Well, I have two things to say about that. One, if I'm sick, I sure as heck don't want to be at work. And two, if I show up to work, and somebody else is obviously sick, I'm giving them the option to call in sick, or I'm going to do it for them via the CP. Every other major has this arrangement. I'll bet there are more guys flying sick because of the new harassment program than there would be if we had a normal sick leave bank.

If we do go to a bank type system, will the former NWA members have a valid grievance since a number of them had quite large banks before the merger and lost a fair amount of it.

2 things before night, night.
1. Awesome job on donations for Todd. Over $43000 now. Way to go!
2. Just realized there are some regulars gone AWOL. Tsquare and Bucking Bar have been absent lately. Hopefully they're OK.

Tsquare, like johnso, felt the whole forum thing was negatively affecting them as they couldn't be here without getting very upset.
BB is heavily involved with.. um... work. He's being assimilated as we speak.
