Again, this isn't about 15% of pilots abusing sick leave. That never made any sense.
It's about gaining the sort of power over every pilot that they could never have dreamed of having. If this becomes our contract, DL will have you by the short and curlies whenever they please, for ANY reason.
Guys, the law allows for this if the request is for paying you sick leave benefits. You don't have to agree to release anything, then the company is perfectly within its rights to not pay you for your sickness. Want to sue or grieve it? Your own "union" agrees with management. Case dismissed.
