By and large, sick leave at Delta is what it's been for many, many years, in terms of each pilot getting X amount of hours to use in each sick year. There are two main differences:

1. In BK, they started taking us down to 75% pay for sick usage after we had used 225 in any rolling 3-year period. That was restored in C2012.
2. In C2012, sick leave verification (which had always been in the contract, but under nebulous terms) was specified as to when a pilot must and need not verify his illness.
