Anyone over 63 who is not setting fire to their sick bank is either an idiot or sycophantic Marvin of the first order. Yo, Scott...the old guys call in sick because you leave them NO choice. Kirby is just stroking the press for sympathy. I have to believe that he's smarter than that. Had I not bolted early there is no way I'd leave a dime on the table. You know the old saw from Bethune about never stealing a buck from a pilot? Well, for a HUGE chunk of us that wasn't true....Mother U got the upper hand in the grand larceny department. By a factor of ten.

Sick leave. It's YOURS, not theirs. Use it or lose it.
