Default 14 K 4, Sick Percentage

Take a look on DeltaNet, Crew Resources, 14 K 4 tracking... sick percentages by combined category (A and B together) sorted by percentage of block hours. Not many surprises... new categories have the lowest use, and narrow bodies are generally lower than widebodies (ER categories muddy the waters). Without access to the underlying data, it seems to me that less senior pilots fare better than more senior pilots, when considering who gets 1 or 2 additional vacation days under the aforementioned C2015 PWA provision. Furthermore, I suspect there is an extremely strong correlation between pilot age and vacation incentive. Last I checked (whether intentional or not), if one's increasing age decreases his or her access to an employee benefit (paid vacation), an employer can be found to be age-discriminating. Age 65 is clearly age discrimination, but prior to reaching that federally-mandated cutoff, are we to simply accept age discrimination? Does anyone have the data to measure correlation?
