delta doesn’t have a sick bank. We have x sick hours that reset every year. X increases from 50 to 270 throughout your career.

Currently, for every sick call (exceptions apply) after 100 hours in a rolling 12 months, you must provide a note from a healthcare professional.

the new TA changes that to 120 hours and removes some clauses that make notes after 160 hours even more onerous. It also limits the digging CPOs will do (“good faith basis” calls) and improves some provisions for exceptions to the old 100 hour rule.

it’s an overall win.
