No doubt company wants to fix that. He said that equates to some crazy number like 90 million. Flew with a ALPA guy and he said same thing. Easy to connect those dots. Hope we don't give in.
The 30% number is utter BS. There is a minority that's under 10% that takes the majority of the sick leave used. It is however base dependant but one of those bases is NYC not a North base. The NWA sick leave conversion was explained many times on the old forum. It was not stolen.
