You burn 3 days sick time instead of flying that 3day trip, but no sick time is burned for the Days 1-2 where you didn't get called. The "Sick as needed" is non-punitive and doesn't go against a dependability review trigger type of thing.

Yeah it’s definitely over and we can all move on and focus on the JCBA. I just have to tell myself that this time these guys are going to take a stand on real PS.
If we don’t get it in the JCBA we never will. DO NOT be fooled by the companies current finances or that the merger willl cost money and on and on. They will absolutely start making money lots of it. Otherwise how do you sell the banks on giving you a loan?
This JCBA will be the most important contract of our careers and we will never have as much leverage. Don’t settle or anything.
