Airline sick banks vary, from 60 to 90 hours a year. Bank limits seem to be around 1000 to 1300 hours. Maybe PPT would be less than that since it is paid time off for anything, not just sick.
Still, our FAs get 49 hrs a year. We can do better than that. It has merit IMO.
As I mentioned they are not allowed to bank it other then a limited amount with a cap.
It sounds like you really don't want to negotiate PPT like the flight attendants. You want a very different program. If we got a hundred hours of PPT and could bank it with no limits or caps I would go for that. You would however have to get the company to go for the program and restructure funding on the disability side.
That type of program has a lot of down side also. Major sick events or accidents can wipe out a 20 year bank.
