I bet management will try to reduce our disability benefit while they try to gut our sick leave. AA's new contract lowered the LTD bar.

You do know that the biffy tanks and the potable water tanks have the same part number, right?

In SDs weekly update under the "pilot productivity" portion he says sick leave usage has gone up 25% since 2012 and that a 2015 flight ops goal is to get back to industry norm. interesting.......

This is what I've been telling you guys (I'm looking at you, jerry). Sick leave is what is on the company's radar.

Profit sharing changes and pay banding would be self starters from the unionoids (I can start saying that again since the same people have made their way back in...shocker) and don't come from the company.

Speaking of sick leave time, did you memorize that phrase I gave you? ;)

I'll stick to the Starbucks from the terminal....which is probably what they hope for anyways. ;)

Already submitted. Our aircraft need to have a 3-5 gallon fresh and clean water tank installed in the galley someplace (Purified water piped to the coffee makers), so that the premium coffee offered to our customers is beautiful, not poison.

Maybe they should start us on an hsa that we can save money like a 401k, let it pay for additional sick leave hours and builds otherwise it's ours for retirement. Sure guys would fly sick to save money but on the flip side just have little tolerance for that.

I mean for a new hire with 30 years left what would that be if they never touched it? Possibly $500k over 30 years? Allow guys to choose between that with fewer company paid leave hours but additional hsa money and the current system.

I made that up. Would that work or too left field?

The last thing I want to do is fly with guys who are sick and too cheap to call in...It is already bad enough because guys use sick time for other things, and then when they are sick they fly.. It would only get worse if Delta pays pilots to come to work sick instead of calling in. Paying for unused sick time is a big mistake.

Yeah, let's watch the news where the anchors either lie about being shot down by an RPG or unquestioningly cite bogus documents in an effort to destroy the presidential opponent you don't support. Both those guys worked for Fox News, am I right?:D
