Wanna talk about LTD and SL accrual? Every newhire is in a big hole for their first 5 years if they get sick. That's by design and needs to be fixed. Ive been here 2.5 yrs and have 40hrs in my bank. After a decade making peanuts at the regionals I'm trying to pay off accrued debts etc but cannot support myself off savings for 6 months. Giant hole in our coverage.
Needs to be fixed. We spend all our negotiating equity making sure we even up with Delta but somehow ignore this gaping difference.

I personally like the way that Delta has their SL. With no STD program and how little we accrue SL, DAL’s method is better. The thing that we have to think about is how do we make the pilots whole who have a large sick leave bank? It is an earned benefit.
DAL does have a problem with their SL policy though. In the month of May, there is a disproportionate amount of sick calls because in June their sick banks reset. I know our management would be cognizant of that.

Simply means that you can call in sick for an immediate family member and use your sick bank without fear of reprisal from the company. How much sick bank you can use is a variable that varies from company to company but it in essence, it negates any company sick leave policies that punish you for usage. Don't believe a Doctors note is required either.
