Exactly. I'd rather not have given it up in the first place, but I suspect this ship has sailed. If 18% is the behavioral shift since implementation, no way do I want to yield the quid for that quo to get back what we had.
I'll use sick leave as needed and pay for doctors visits/verifications if necessary. A few hundred dollars max per year is way less than what I suspect we'd give up per pilot to negotiate it back. I'll take 150% pay for middle seat DHs instead.
