I think I read somewhere that sick calls since this contract were down like 18% or some crazy number. Doubt the company gives this one back easily.

I'll use sick leave as needed and pay for doctors visits/verifications if necessary. A few hundred dollars max per year is way less than what I suspect we'd give up per pilot to negotiate it back. I'll take 150% pay for middle seat DHs instead.

If there is a 18% reduction it’s probably due to elimination of tactical sick calls for greenslipping. The ability to generate triple pay with a sickout is gone.

Contract question, I’m heading into the dreaded last day of reserve for the month but line holder next month with a descent amount of days off
Is there any limit at all to what they can give me? If I get put on short call and someone calls in sick for a 5 day trip can they assign that to me with no penalty? I couldn’t avoid having this day on call, and I also easily got the 4th of July off. Thanks

hope, but if you get nailed....
"Reserve pilots flown into regular line off days when transitioning from reserve bid period into regular bid period are compensated with premium pay. .....and a rotation as a reserve pilot that conflicts with his regular line days off, will receive premium pay for all duty periods flown into his regular line by more than one day, or more than three days if the rotation contains an ocean crossing"
