Either way, the numbers are statistically insignificant, meaning this is plain and simple a distraction meant to boost productivity.
Its our job as pilots not to throw each other under the bus. I dont believe MLOA abuse is happening. Dont argue on management's behalf. Ever. That includes calling people abusers of anything, sick leave, MLOA, anything. Never go against the family.
The problem you don't mention is there is a very active well financed effort in DC to change the current protections in favor of the companies. When obvious abuse is occurring those become examples of why the law should be amended and give ammunition to the companies seeking the changes.
