Isn’t Sick time a negotiated benefit? It’s not FMLA, All of our sick hours should be available for use without justification.

Why did I even bother with spending hours on the damn CBA survey? The upcoming contract. I'm retiring here soon enough and won't miss this kind of sh** after 25 years. Money or NO money. Health and well being is the bigger picture here.

Insane system but I didn't design it.

What about an injury? Or, mental well being? Will you still come to fly?

I'm NOT in disagreement here. Management doesn't trust us to utilize our best judgment in regards to this. But then why would they? It's kind of hypocrisy isn't it? We're responsible for some pretty sophisticated machinery, no?
