Nice gig, if you can get it...
This is what I'm talking about, but I think it's a company issue. A line guy would run out of sick leave after about 3 months, not a year. We're supposed to be qualified to come to work, no?
At NWA we had a some walking wounded in full time positions that never used any of their sick leave. As you say, nice gig, if you can get it. I didn't know that it happened at DAL too.
