At NetJets we all get 12 PTO days a year in the sick/ PTO bank. We can cash unused out at the end of the year or bank up to 75 I believe. We can use up 12 per year as PTO days, but we have to bid for them and don't know until the month before at the earliest. The company can also charge more than one PTO day for a day off if it is a busy day for the company.
Cant speak for AA but at WN you accrue 10 percent of your monthly earned straight credit into a "sick bank" aka, whatever bank. Maxes out at 1600 TFP(1392 hours) but you can use it whenever you want. No advance notice or bidding required. An average 2 day is about 14 TFP and a 3 day is about 20 TFP so there's that. You cannot cash it out if you leave or retire...
