Q: If a pilot has an illness, injury, that uses up the first 100 hours of sick leave (verified or not), will he then have to verify every sick leave for the next 12 months?

A: If a pilot exceeds 100 hours of sick time use in a rolling 12 bid period lookback, they would be required to verify every sick leave until they fell below the threshold. However there are some exceptions: A pilot who provides a doctor’s certificate at his expense verifying a sick occurrence for which he has used at least 100 hours of sick leave may, upon his request, not be considered to have used such sick leave hours for purposes of Section 14 F. 2. and 3., provided the sick occurrence involves: 1) the fracture of a major bone (e.g., hand, shoulder, leg, hip), or 2) an acute condition resulting in an unplanned hospital admission. Note one: Section 14 F. b. 1) will not apply if the sick occurrence is due to a chronic or degenerative condition. Note two: Section 14 F. b. 2) will not apply to an emergency room visit that does not result in a hospital admission. Note three: Sick leave hours in a sick occurrence that meet the criteria under Section 14 F. 6. b., will be counted toward the determination of a pilot’s eligibility for the exemption in Section 14. F. 6. a. In addition, if they had not used greater than 50 hours of sick leave in each of the previous 2 sick leave years, they would not have to verify for any illness in that sick leave year.(except in a case of good faith basis)


I thought the TA was supposed to sell itself. Period.
