2. RLL to some lower (more jr) number that still achieves reserve coverage.

3. Some limit on ALV to offer SILs. I don’t want an 85hr ALV while others take month off.

4. Company offers X number of SIL. They then have to fill at least that many. Pilots then bid SIL by number hours pay they want. Pilot X bids 60hrs, pilot Y bids 55. Pilot Y gets the SIL.

That was my original thought....just put them into PBS with a bid preference. Say I take SIL if above 50 hrs etc..

That’s my recollection, anyway. Im not saying it was right or wrong.

I don't recall that being the reason. I do know that there were some vocal pilots making a fuss about the idea of doing them when they were suddenly happening. That was what I understood the reason to be.

Giving the company leniency on a test period that had already expired in was not the prudent thing to do.

Pilot Enhanced disability benefit?

On self service, there is a pilot enhanced disability benefit that had 6hrs by it last month and zero this month? Any idea why this was taken away. Any idea who to call to inquire?1800mydelta was worthless as usual.

What exactly is the enhanced disability benefit anyway? I've never been able to figure out what that means.

I didn’t know we had that, thought it was one of the proposals in this co tract negotiation. Maybe I’ll go look at pwa....

Half of unused sick time below 80 hours goes into this account. So, if you only used 40 hours in a sick year, half of the remaining 40 hours would be deposited. Using it kicks in after you deplete your sick time but before DPMA and disability begin if memory serves.

PWA 26.K.5.b for your reading pleasure.

This was poorly worded and we got the worst interpretation. At one point (inadvertently, perhaps) this was represented as half of up to 80 hours of unused sick leave. So, for someone who only used 50 of their 125 hours, they'd get half of 75 (37.5). Instead, they only get 15 (half of 80-50) as it is currently interpreted.

Someone with an allocation of 270, who only uses 80 and leaves 190 on the table... gets no Enhanced Disability Benefit. Under the previous representation (again, no reason to believe it was malicious, but it's what I thought were were voting for), that pilot leaving 190 on the table would at least have 40 hours rolled into his EDB bank.
