Sick leave was once a (possible) good deal.
Call in sick on Reserve, wouldn't have been used and get NO DEDUCTION from your sick bank. The first ALPA contract gave back "unless you are sick for the entire month" (in which case your sick bank will be charged RLG). Now the company is coming after mini-RLG.
This is DEFINITELY a give back!!! And another example of our slowing worsening working conditions (work rules).
