First item: "Why make changes to our Sick Leave program?"

Not our problem what management alleges about sick leave abuse. They have the power to fire pilots over it, and they don't. The notepad using this as their lead off item is Exhibit A of Stockholm Syndrome.

Second item: "Sick leave, what has not changed?"

Third bullet is such a distortion it is virtually a lie. Bullets 4, and 5 are complete falsehoods.

Third item: "Changes affecting sick leave"

The title alone tells the tale. Honesty would have dictated this section be entitled "Concessions negatively affecting sick leave" except for the last two bullets which are slight positives. The rest of the bullets are truly awful concessions that are spun as mere "changes."

I'm actually sick of responding anymore about this notepad. The rest just continues the falsehoods as stated above. The worst part is that their spin does not comport with the actual TA language. They're lying about what the TA actually says. Sad.
