Reading the CBA’s Use of Sick leave (14.B.2.) and just want to see if I am missing something.


Pilot A was awarded a secondary line with trips in week 1 and week 2 and reserve in week 3.

Pilot B was awarded a reserve line with a block of reserve in week 1, week 2, and week 3.

Pilot C has one long block of reserve.


Pilots A & B get sick in week 3. Pilot C was sick an equal number of days in their string of days.

None were ever needed to fly while sick (e.g., way down on the leveling list).


Pilot A has his/her sick leave deducted the value of that week’s reserve block.

Pilots B & C keeps their sick leave as they were not sick for all R-days.


Am I reading that right?

If so, does that make sense for the secondary line holder?
