There’s more to it, but short version: covid-based sick calls did not count against your sick bank. That exception sunsetted.

Which was given by the company as good will to begin with, so not even a concession.
It took a LOA. |

I agree, but now it’s just like every other sickness. If I have the flu it counts. Now COVID does too. I just don’t see it as that big of a concession.

But it is a concession. Until Mar 2, if you or a family member got Covid, you didn't use any sick time. Now, if you get Covid or any future pandemic disease, you must use your sick bank. If your family is told to quarantine, you get nothing, with exceptions in state sick locations.. |

(Oops there goes gravity) The emergency is over and the world goes on. Covid is manageable now and should be treated like a normal illness. It’s here to stay. But the deletion of the LOA to facilitate a TA was a concession, even if I understand why it was done. |

I guess if anyone thought "Covid World" would last forever. I assumed it was a temporary measure and so I do not see it as a "concession" at all, perhaps more like the ending of a good deal. I suppose if you wanted to get technical you could review the exact verbiage of the LOA since I am pretty sure it was not contractual. Anyhow - like you said - time to snap back to reality. Scoop |

Agreed. I remember hearing the hype about him, so I gave him a shot. I listened to a book on a cross country road trip and was thinking to myself, this is pretty basic stuff here. His stuff is good for some people, but I'd hope it's not earth shattering stuff for any airline pilot. |
I watched winning time. Jerry Buss couldn’t afford to buy the Lakers. Apparently he leveraged everything he owned and would have lost team if they didn’t win championship in first year. It’s obviously exaggerated, but now I want to buy an NBA team. We can all dream.

Well since you are dreaming - skip the NBA and go NHL. Watch “Slapshot” with Paul Newman to motivate you. Scoop 😁 |
