These letters seem illegal under New York law assuming they've been sent to NY-based pilots.
NYS Section 196-B:
No employer or their agent, or the officer or agent of any
corporation, partnership, or limited liability company, or any other
person, shall discharge, threaten, penalize, or in any other manner
discriminate or retaliate against any employee because such employee has
exercised their rights afforded under this section, including, but not
limited to, requesting sick leave or paid prenatal leave and using sick
leave or paid prenatal leave, consistent with the provisions of section
two hundred fifteen of this chapter.

There are questions about legality in CA as well. Added to the allegations for violating CA pay transparency, this letter could create some legal bills. DL is already on thin ice in several states over state sick leave.

I can’t wait to see how that turns out for these clowns.

Also, with Bryan Bedford from Republic in charge of the FAA and Duffy as transportation secretary, our ASAPs and pleas about pilot pushing will fall on deaf ears.

Honestly laws are becoming meaningless in this country. The government is constantly violating the laws and ignoring court rulings against them. Now corporations are emboldened and taking a page out of the government's playbook.

The CA pay transparency issue cost United over $70 million for pilots and FAs combined. Delta has been out of compliance even longer.
I do agree that the FAA won’t do anything about the letter. That’s been their longstanding MO, regardless of who’s in charge.

We get treated like adults at AA. Never even got this treatment in my regional days.

We will agree to disagree. When you have a limited amount of time accrued each year that carries forward you tend to be very conservative with that time. When you get 270 hours of use it or lose it your thought process is quite different. Friends I had at AA always tried to build a significant buffer to cover catastrophic illnesses or accidents. My post on self policing has nothing to do with the 50 hour rule regardless. It’s about the differences in the systems. UAL gets 60 hours a year. After that sick leave is unpaid.
