AA has a "sick if needed" option for reserve pilots. If you are sick, call in and tell scheduling. If you are "needed" for reserve coverage, then you are charged sick leave. If you aren't needed, then no charge to sick leave. It's something we should look for in our next contract.

Anyone know how it is determined if you're needed? Is there a formula? Is it just reserves available to reserves required? Just wondering how defend a discrepancy with the company if this policy was available.

This type of plan is a definate benefit to the company. In exchange for offering this type of sick leave plan, which benefits the company, we should get a pay raise.

If scheduling gets to your name on the LC or SC list for a trip assignment, then you are "sick" and charged sick leave. If you are at the top of the list or for that matter, the only pilot on the list, but they never get to you for a trip assignment then you are not needed and don't take a hit on the sick leave.

Ok, gotcha. I like that. Thanks.
