So yes was 3 full bases and 2 split bases plus instructors (guessing that's what INS is)

No was 3 full bases and 2 split bases.

Might some of the instructors be trying to work their way into management? And also a very small portion of the pilot group. And Atlanta has double the reps of every other base. I think this might be the first ever TA to be voted down at Delta. I'm all for converting profit sharing to pay rates, but I think most people were hoping for more than a 1% effective raise on jan 1st. This sick policy business makes me sick though. We are in a profession that should never be bullied into flying sick. We also have many many more things we can't fly with than a typical desk job person can go to work with. Took a mucin ex DM for a cold? 48 hours down time. Had a mild sports injury that healed quickly but initially needed pain killers? 48 hour no-fly. Flying with a head cold? Not only is it torture, it can cause serious health problems. I want to know more about this third party crap. I don't know about you guys but when I feel sick I don't even want to leave the house to go to my own doctor 5 minutes away unless I have to.
