The way we do sick here is extremely stupid, and unlike any other major airline. If they are going to grant us the sick bank, then we should be allowed to use it as we see fit. Out of sick time? Now you deal with management aggression. I'll never understand why ALpA would negotiate a benefit, but then not the means to actually use it.
Also, the infantile and petty GFB thing needs to be the first thing to go in the next contract. Think about how much money it will save just through firing a few sick monitors... uh I mean chief pilots... per base whose only job is tracking sick time and harassing pilots for actually being sick.
