You were required to verify under the prior contract. The criteria was different however for the vast majority of the pilot group the current contract is better. Since only a small percentage of pilots exceed 100 hours of sick leave a year it’s highly unlikely there was a 18% reduction due to verification.
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 is your only salvation! The 30/168 might save you depending on how many days you have already been on call unless the trip has a 30 hour layover.

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"

I forgot about that change in the contract. It’s much better than what we had.

In that situation are you still in the normal callout ladder or are you only used in a last resort due to the premium pay?

It’s step 10 in the coverage ladder.
