I know what Delta's and United's sick leave provisions are. But I'm hoping a SWA, Alaska, Spirit, Allegiant, USAir pilots can quickly tell me how their sick leave works.

AA and APA are telling us that our AIP is industry standard in every way.

AA's supposed ISC sick leave: Replace sick bank with a short term 60 hours bank. Then there is a long term bank of 245 to whatever you had up to 940.
You are allowed 60 hours sick per year. Any sick occurence exceeding 14 days or for access to long term bank requires authorization from AA med or 3rd party contractor to access long term bank.

I'm in my 17th year. I've never had to use long term sick. I get 2 or 3 severe head colds per year. That alone will hit 60 hours for me.


I just feel this is so far below industry standard that I voted NO for this and for Scope.

As an example, I know Deltas sick policy is they receive 285 hours per year. If you exceed 310 in a rolling 3 years then there is a small penalty of say 60 or 70% pay for the hurs used above 310. Did I get that right?

I'm hoping a Spirit pilot or Alaska pilot can comment on their sick for a comparison. Our union does not provide sick comparisons on contract comparisons.

My take on the whole proposal was EVERYTHING was far below industry standard.

Thanks for anything you can pass on.
