You make several good points here. From the way I see it, AA is not making any drastic changes to the system currently in place. They are only establishing 2 sick banks - short and long term. Using 30 days or more of sick time has always been subject to validation, and rightfully so. Giving pilots the option to cash out unused sick time is quite honestly a nice perk.
I can't figure out why this has become an issue. Seems to me that there are other battles that would be better fought than this one.
That's just it: I think this issue is nothing but a distraction on the part of APA in order to try to generate sympathy for their cause in general. Two words: red herring.
