I guess I don't understand your point. You said 125 sick hours equals 109 TFP. It doesn't. It equals ~144 TFP.
You also seemed to say 109 TFP is earning guarantee at SWA. It's not. Our highest monthly guarantee is 89 TFP.
In my original post on sick leave, I said that Delta arguably has a better sick leave plan than SWA but that it depends on how you use your sick leave. So, if you don't call in sick much, like yourself, then you might consider our sick leave plan better. You'll get paid at higher rates for it later (unless we agree to a plan to sell sick leave at pennies on the dollar) but you'll have likely not called in sick when you needed to be home for various reasons that fall under IMSAFE.
I don’t work sick. Majority of my sick calls have been due to the the rest of the family being sick and me needing to take them to the Dr, etc. If I’m sick, I’m not going to work. I have absolutely no issue using sick time…I just don’t abuse it so I can pick up premium around it like some folks.
