5 hours per month accrual SL. What a joke.
All of the rest is just chaff. Don't fall for it, don't even consider it. Don't be a Loopner.

I completely agree. Nothing worse than someone who comes to work knowingly sick and then gives it to you. I'm so tired of flying with senior guys bragging about 1000 hours in their sick bank as they hack away with a cough.
Meanwhile I got no OJI rollover boost in the sick bank with the last contract (because they cut out OJI for new hires back in '04) and struggle because 5 hours a month won't build up Jack.
My biggest heartburn about the current contract.
