I am surprised no one brought this up. I recently read the profound(?) email from management on what sick leave is. I feel so edumacated. I think I'm calling in sick.

On another note... We as a pilot group need to do more to encourage management to come to the table with a more viable offer. If you are flying with someone on dft, vlt, or pairings the union is disputing, CALL THEM OUT. If you don't have the B*ll's post their employee number here and others can approach the individuals with what they think. We have way too many I's and not enough WE's. Pilots are a self centered bunch by nature, but more so they hate having their name in front of their fellow pilots whatever the reason.
