But Prospect has only been here for eight months. He/she is still learning.
Let's say a Delta pilot and SWA pilot both call out an average of 5 hours (5.75 tfp) per month (for easy math). That's 60 hours (69 tfp) per year. They do this for 3 years. At the start of the 4th year, the Delta pilot can count on having their allowance of 120+ hours that year. The SWA pilot has their leftovers from all previous years plus whatever they accrue that year. It's simple... If you don't use all your sick leave each year, which most people don't, our system gets you more sick accrual in the long run and it's not even close.
But you're right, I'm still learning. What am I missing?
