I hope I never have to use it again, but I know I probably will sometime before I retire, glad it's getting better.
Now...if we could just get about 11 new hire F/A's on the Dubai trips and put the senior mamas on the 717!
Hi Timbo,
The NWA sick leave policy was indeed a true replacement for your income should you not be able to hold a First Class medical. (please... don't take this as it was "better when"). We have a good contract, a good company and a great opportunity to recapture losses incurred during bankruptcy negotiations.
DPMA was sold as the replacement for the old NWA sick leave policy, ergo... same pay. We both have found out it didn't hold true when we needed it the most. I still believe the focus is returning to good health!!
Regarding new hires.....While riding to the airport on the hotel van, we shared the ride with a new hire. What a pleasant experience!! Unfortunately we couldn't convince her to become one of fourteen to NRT!!
Fly safe,
OC
