Didn't Management lose a billion on fuel hedges? That is over 20 times the amount of sick leave "abuse" increase.(48 million) The comparison of the period ending in 2012 to now is a little skewed since during that period we got an average of 80hrs 100% sick pay. They don't compare the well rate of 92.2 vs 93.9. Only a 1.1% decrease with almost a tripling of available 100% pay sick leave. I think we are doing pretty good.
