You were required to verify under the prior contract. The criteria was different however for the vast majority of the pilot group the current contract is better. Since only a small percentage of pilots exceed 100 hours of sick leave a year it’s highly unlikely there was a 18% reduction due to verification.
If there is a 18% reduction it’s probably due to elimination of tactical sick calls for greenslipping. The ability to generate triple pay with a sickout is gone.
