Till TA23~

As for the sick leave, transitioning to a DL style could be relatively easy. It all depends on how the contract is written. One could transition the majority of the group to the DL style and should or when the guys with more than 250 hours (or whatever the number is at DL) go below that number they go from the old method to the new one. I also think the company should do some type of buy out on sick leave when a guy / gal retires. I've heard of folks "planning" sick leave usage through to retirement to finish with or about zero.
Also realize that you keep saying "what are we going to give up to get this or that". My answer is DALs new AIP is worth some X billion over the life of the contract, so it would appear that nothing was given up over there and we should expect the same here.
Just an opinion. YMMV.
