So basically, after the use of 60hrs of sick time, roughly equivalent of 3 sick calls. To be paid for more sick leave, you'll have to get AA medical, or a third party contractor, plus the chief pilot, to agree for you to use additional sick time. And go see a doctor, even for a simple cold, (with our ****ty insurance, at lease $200 out of your pocket) and hope that your doctor will spent half an hour filling out the prescribed documentation as contractually described.

I'd rather trade a 30% pay cut to improve QOL items, so what does that say about the "brown book"

Now we're voting on giving up the very little leverage we have left to get a few more dollars and instead of making our QOL not ****.

Please please spend 2 minutes reading that sick policy. It's pretty disgusting.

sad thing is, every aspect of the contract is like this.

APA green book is basically a Mesa contract but we fly bigger airplanes.
