After reading SD's memo, I'd have to say it could be construed as motivation for some guys to take even more sick time. I'm not advocating it, but could you imagine the leverage DALPA's negotiators would have if even a quarter of the pilot group used all 100 unverified sick hours?

In any case, mamangement squeezes every ounce of productivity to the point of skirting the contract. And now they're coming after us for alleged sick "abuse" that they don't bother trying to prove. Not a good way to produce employees who want to go "above and beyond."
