That's not been my experience. Sometimes they do, sometimes they don't. It just depends on there needs. I think it would cut down on sick calls If it was an LOA

Wasn't that the XJ policy? Positive space on the second flight?

I ask for it, I don't wait for them to offer. Maybe that's the difference.

So you're saying it should be at the discretion of scheduling and not an LOA? Just because it's been working out for you doesn't mean that they do that for everyone. Calling in honest is without pay until you can catch up with your trip which can sometimes take a while. That's why some will opt for a sick call, and possibly call in well later

I love the 4 sick calls per year without a question asked policy. Works great in conjunction with each of my weeks off throughout the year.

FOr all you florida commuters during spring break its good to know that one.
