This just looks like a regurgitated argument.
NWA folks with big sick leave banks got screwed. Period. Corporate Bean Counting and abuse of employees at its finest. Then offering 100 hrs per year unverified... and not expecting it to be used...? That was seriously stupid. Now if they want to fix it they pay a premium that we can verify. Or they can live with it. JMO, OFG

Anyone see the most recent newsletter about SL? Man, they are really trying to make a point. I bet there will be a blurb about SL in every newsletter from here on out.

Yup, we should hang that next to the SEC filing awarding stock to the management team.

I'd be happy to fly when I'm sick if management would write me a note saying that I have their permission. Until that day, it is a violation of federal law.

Pushing pilots to fly sick is fraught with risk. Should we have a fatal crash where one of the pilots was flying sick because of this intimidation the resulting lawsuits will cost Delta Billions.

The entire goal of this actions is to intimidate weak pilots to fly sick.

Bean counters know nothing about what we do.

They made a mistake and get a paper cut. We make a mistake and ............

Yeah, I did the math and figured the break-even time frame for that POS trade was about 300 years. I call in sick when I am sick. Every time.

Tomorrow is one of the sickest days of the year. It would be a shame if we came in under the average due to pressure from management.

Managements issue with SL is a red herring and they are using it to distract us from asking for what we deserve.

We are currently under the SL policy they "had to have" in 2012. I've got no more room to move on SL, they can pound sand as far as I'm concerned.

Bingo.

They don't have any leverage.
So they are trying to invent it by manipulating and cherry picking data that conforms to the story they want to tell.
So much for integrity.
