This has to be a change, even though the union says it codifies current practice. Another give back.
sorry to disagree, but if you read the award from the grievance, it highlights the issue (whether from a vacation reduced number of r days or a mini-rlg from a secondary or custom line) the key thing the arbitrator ruled on was being sick for "all" of the r days. He said that is the only factor and thus the pilot was subject to 14.B.2.c.i.
Looks like we lost it, and even if we wanted to change it via bargaining, the Company rarely wants to give ground back they won through arbitration (i know i wouldn't)
Give back? looks like we already did and to fight about it more is once again a lost cause. Call it what you want, same result. read the last 2 pages.
