That's pretty low. Those sick days are mine, I've earned them and I don't think the company should start a witch hunt for people who used their sick days. People at F9 who brag about having 120 days of sick are not very bright. We don't have a provision to cash out sick time, so I'm using them.

We need to stay together and be strong against this management.

We need to get personal days instead of sick days. Then we can use them without any questions. Sick or just don't feel like going into work that day. I think Jetblue has a nice system like that.

They do, it's called PTO. Senior guys get 12 hours per month, which accumulates, in turn they take time off when they want or can also sell a portion of it back to the company at the end of the year at 150%.
It also goes hand in hand with their PBS, which is adamantly apposed to by some at F9.

By far, the majority of the pilots are against PBS. There is a reason why the company wants it.

Was wondering if someone could show me where to get a copy of F9 contract.

Other than he thought his captain was a giant tool.

The company screws the pilots every chance they get, and people are still helping them out. I guess these people have no pride or not a single iota of self respect. At least they are well known to the pilot group.

Both. We have not yet reached our amendable date, but opened negotiations a year early.
