June and yes, when you are at your 9th year... prorated if you have less years of service.

 

Like he said, June is when your sick bank is recharged.

It's now 300 hours in a rolling 3 year period. (It got changed from 240 with the JCBA)

 

So with less then 9 years of service we get a prorated amount of less then 300 hours in a rolling 3 year period at 100%?

Guess I'd better get my contract out.

 

I agree finis. It isn't possible to negotiate every contract when Jupiter lines up with Mars and the economy is booming. Snapshots are good for some things, but not negotiating our contract out 5 years. We must make some financial assumptions that we will be profitable and sucessful. When were aren't, the company has ways of making us give back stuff in the middle of a contract, and they aren't shy about asking. Of course it would have to be a good reason, or we'll just say,"Sorry, but a contract is a contract." P.S. Are you one of those 500 pre-72 guys that didn't take the money and run leaving us holding an empty bag of money? If you are, then I salute you, although I hope you are thinking about retiring now. You must be one of those single digit guys. Ha Sorry, just envious. LOL I'm just junior AND old.

 

However, you can make a salient point without twisting the facts to conform with a preconceived idea of what went on. There was much more at stake than $600M and there was much more to the story than a quid pro quo trade. There is nothing quid pro quo about an 1113c contract rejection. Alfa and Slow have first hand knowledge of what went on, I give them a great deal more credibility in this debate.

If Bar's salient point is that scope should not be traded for bargaining credits, I agree completely.

 

no, that guy is confused.

The only thing in sick time that is prorated is the hours you get per year, if you are a new hire or returning from furlough.

 

That's because you didn't have a southern drawl and two teeth missing. I'm soooooooooo kidding. Sorry acl, but I coudn't resist. Probably a timing issue. Where are you now?

Thanks iaflyer!

I think I finally understand now. 300 hours in a rolling 3 year period at 100%. Since I'm just starting my 3rd year of longevity, the amount I receive in June will be prorated.

 

THANKS! Somebody gets it. The point is we were forced into concessionary bargaining and got used to the idea of trading jobs for credits. Now that ethic lives on and I sure do not want to see it applied to the 100 seat jet issue.

Management sure seems to be biding its time to see what we might be willing to sell.

 

"Explain how the Delta pilot's sick bank functions."

That was the only question on this year's Advanced Calculus final exam at Harvard.
Most of the class failed.
