Sick leave analysis
Best I can tell, the pilots are being stand up guys and not calling in sick on the holidays. Seems to me that things are perfectly fine.
Instead of trying to squeeze blood from a stone, they should be thanking us.

Didn't Management lose a billion on fuel hedges? That is over 20 times the amount of sick leave "abuse" increase.(48 million) The comparison of the period ending in 2012 to now is a little skewed since during that period we got an average of 80hrs 100% sick pay. They don't compare the well rate of 92.2 vs 93.9. Only a 1.1% decrease with almost a tripling of available 100% pay sick leave. I think we are doing pretty good.

Those charts prove to me that there is a fairly large percentage of the pilot group who fear the retributions of calling in sick over holidays. They would rather come to work sick rather than visit the CP office and deal with explaining why they called in sick over a holiday.
We've all heard it before, "If you call in sick over a holiday it is a guaranteed trip to see the CP."
If we would get a policy that did not allow the company to call us in or ask for verification for ANY sick calls during the first 100 hours of sick usage and move the renewal date to our anniversary month instead of May, I'll bet the sick usage would even out to about the average.

We need to improve the contract.
"No questions asked" sick call via Internet up to the contractual max hours.
"No questions asked" for calling fatigued or not extending per FAR117.

Crew Resources monthly letter is now a concession propaganda brochure.
The one we got today had 3 pages of graphs on how we are all using way more sick time than we did a few years ago and the only logical reason is that we are abusing it because over the holidays they see a drop in the amount of sick time usage.
I think they have Al Gore working on sick time usage data on the 4th floor.
