I don't think that's what the TA said. Not that I care what it said anymore.

sick leave is an EASY fix:
1) 200% holiday pay
2) sick leave year resets on date of hire anniversary.
These two alone will fix the supposed sick leave abuse, although I truly believe there is no sick leave abuse. But this is a great way to call the company's bluff, offer to throw these two things in the PWA and watch them backpedal or come up with reasons why they cant "afford" it.
By the way, the majority of Delta pilots have 240 or more sick hours per year. The average sick usage is 80 hours per year. The company is making money on this deal. The average delta pilot gives 2/3rd of their sick time back to the company. Im not buying the SL abuse argument. ever.

But, I guess that's not the case anymore since they seem to be ok with giving them a raise in order to work around a provision in our contract.
So be it. You are right. I want 200% holiday pay, too.

The argument used to be that if they gave us 2x holiday pay, they would have to give to the flight attendants.

Compass pays Holidays at an extra 4 hours a day and it helps getting more people who want those days off the chance to. A lot of trips that end on the holiday or leave late on a holiday such as Memorial day tend to go senior. Imagine if Delta paid that at 200% like GS. Would probably be a win-win for everyone.

We used to get 3days a year, paid, for a personal drop. I was told we got it in exchange for working holidays. Lost it in bankruptcy, I believe. Would've been nice to get that back during historic profits...
