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.
Well we obviously don't want the sick program changes in the TA, but we will probably have to negotiate something sooner or later. I guess we are just about done with the honor system around here as more and more treat our present system as a use it or lose it. The next obvious direction is going to be a bank/PPT system the way I see it. And yes, it mitigates the abuse but encourages flying sick.
I prefer a PPT system with as much PPT as possible is all I'm saying. But probably saying it prematurely. Its not July 11th yet.
