sick leave is an EASY fix:

1) 200% holiday pay
2) sick leave year resets on date of hire anniversary.

These two alone will fix the supposed sick leave abuse, although I truly believe there is no sick leave abuse. But this is a great way to call the company's bluff, offer to throw these two things in the PWA and watch them backpedal or come up with reasons why they cant "afford" it.

By the way, the majority of Delta pilots have 240 or more sick hours per year. The average sick usage is 80 hours per year. The company is making money on this deal. The average delta pilot gives 2/3rd of their sick time back to the company. Im not buying the SL abuse argument. ever.
