You quoted me before I realized I was probably blowing smoke

Still, guys are operating within the contract. That particular clause happens to be costing the company more than they anticipated, and I get why they want to do something about it. Unfortunately, I have a feeling our scope clause is costing us alot of money, as is 70 hour reserve guarantee, etc. I'd like to change a few things mid-contract too

I'm not saying I want everyone to be able to call in whenever they feel like it and burn up 240 hours a year. I just don't want to get anywhere near the NWA sick policy. It was atrocious, condescending, and expensive for the pilot if you got sick more than once or twice a year.
