The SL 3 year retroactive look back is disturbing to me on many levels. I just don't get why you (DALPA) would permit punishment for behavior that is contractually legal in the previous contract.

I didn't pay attention to the number of sick days that I took in the last three years. I can't tell you how many days I took. What I do know is I never exceeded the 100 verification hours, ever.

Under the proposed TA, if I have 14 days, this activity will result in my having to verify my next sick call immediately. I don't have any records. I wasn't required to keep any. Potentially, I will be in this purgatory for three years before my record would be cleared. I can't get a cold, the flu or food poisoning.

All this to punish less than one percent of the group. What about the 99% that played by the rules? Retroactivity usually results in a check, not a punch.
