I personally like the way that Delta has their SL. With no STD program and how little we accrue SL, DAL’s method is better. The thing that we have to think about is how do we make the pilots whole who have a large sick leave bank? It is an earned benefit.
DAL does have a problem with their SL policy though. In the month of May, there is a disproportionate amount of sick calls because in June their sick banks reset. I know our management would be cognizant of that.
