Never know when you’re going to need to pick up a sweet end table after getting a cheeseburger dog from 7-11. I was speaking about the long stays there. Just as terrible. Had a family member pick me up once and laughed that we stayed there.

What gets me about the RSW hotel, which they moved to an even worse hotel, is the company claims there are “no other options” in the area. Meanwhile, Delta stays at a full blown resort there…

For real. Our annual accrual and sick is ridiculous. Not up to snuff and have a 3 day? Boom, you just burned 25% of your annual accrual on one trip.

Gains? Sure, a bit. Im glad new hires dont have to deal with the 0 sick for 6 months crap like before. ESB is a major gain IMO too.

However, only 60 hrs/yr is garbage. Not having a way to get back sick, ala sick day 1, but well by day 2 but too bad, you burn 3 days worth of sick. Why not have an option to get your 10.30 of sick back via a self-repair/RO/LC type situation is also garbage. If not? Ok, fine, charge the full amount of sick.

FWIW I've been here ~12 years and have 520 hours in combined banks, but I don't have kids at home making me sick.

I do agree with self repair, total BS to burn 20-30 hours sick on a 4 or 5 day trip when you could work again sometime during it. I know there was some reason AA management was against it, but the reason escapes me now.

They don't want us to further trip trade with sick.

Have a crappy 4 day trip and TTS won't let you trade into sweet 2 day trip? Call in sick, take those two days off, pick up that 2 day to make up some of the sick burned.

Yet a long call reserve can do exactly that.

Reserve's can't pick up a 2 day to make up sick.

But obviously everything else is true in that they get assigned a 4 day, but only burn sick time for the days they are sick. So they can only be charged 1 day of sick to get out of that 4 day.

Obviously reserve had its own loophole/game that the company wanted closed( and was closed) which was call in sick to get out of a trip, but then call in well before 10 am and no sick was charged. That went bye bye.

Does that have something to do with IMAX as well? So you'd burn 10.5 hours sick and fly 10.5 hours for 21 hours credit but only use 10:30 of your FAR time, allowing you to pick up another 10.5 of credit.
