But I also recognize the percentage of reservists, who are abusing the system is too high right now. Argue if you want about what is abuse, but don't try to insult my intelligence and tell me it doesn't go on.
I'm not insulting you because I'm not (and haven't) claimed abuse doesn't take place. But someone who is in complete compliance with federal law and Delta's military leave guide isn't an abuser. Your previous statement leads me to believe you have a different definition of "abuser". That's seems like a slippery slope, and one the company would love to have its pilots plummet down together. Where there is no unity, we are a vulnerable lot.
I have heard anecdotes of "friends of friends" who were fired from Delta for abuse of mil leave. Note that I fully support such a removal from our company for intentional abuse of mil leave for reasons we can probably agree on.
