Quote: Fair question: how does the Company show younger FO's are abusers?

I'm one of the younger FOs. I also have young kids in daycare that are walking Petri dishes. I get sick. I presume many of the younger FOs at Delta are at a similar stage in life with young kids. If the PWA says I get 100 hours of unverified sick leave in addition to a little more verified time, I am ENTITLED to use 100% of my PWA sick leave if needed.

Interested in seeing how and when the Company defines sick leave abuse.
Exactly correct. This is no different than any other section of the contract to which you are entitled to. Any management type that tries extra-contractual methods to stop the proper use of a contractual entitlement is in the wrong.

And Cheap Trick, don't hold back on my use of the word "entitlement." I'll look forward to it.
