2. RLL to some lower (more jr) number that still achieves reserve coverage.
3. Some limit on ALV to offer SILs. I don’t want an 85hr ALV while others take month off.
4. Company offers X number of SIL. They then have to fill at least that many. Pilots then bid SIL by number hours pay they want. Pilot X bids 60hrs, pilot Y bids 55. Pilot Y gets the SIL.

That’s my recollection, anyway. Im not saying it was right or wrong.

Giving the company leniency on a test period that had already expired in was not the prudent thing to do.

Pilot Enhanced disability benefit?
On self service, there is a pilot enhanced disability benefit that had 6hrs by it last month and zero this month? Any idea why this was taken away. Any idea who to call to inquire?1800mydelta was worthless as usual.

What exactly is the enhanced disability benefit anyway? I've never been able to figure out what that means.

Half of unused sick time below 80 hours goes into this account. So, if you only used 40 hours in a sick year, half of the remaining 40 hours would be deposited. Using it kicks in after you deplete your sick time but before DPMA and disability begin if memory serves.
PWA 26.K.5.b for your reading pleasure.

Someone with an allocation of 270, who only uses 80 and leaves 190 on the table... gets no Enhanced Disability Benefit. Under the previous representation (again, no reason to believe it was malicious, but it's what I thought were were voting for), that pilot leaving 190 on the table would at least have 40 hours rolled into his EDB bank.
