Q: Is “unprecedented sick leave” part of Irregular Operations? I know it was in the Company’s original proposal. If so, who determines what that number is and where is the accountability?
The definition of Irregular Operations was not changed. There was no change to incorporate “unprecedented sick leave”. It is still:
“Flights that do not operate in accordance with the published schedule because of circumstances such as weather, maintenance delays, cancellations, crew shortages, misconnects, air traffic control, or similar circumstances within the system, as well as natural disasters, sabotage, hijacking, bomb threat, or actual bomb, terrorist attacks and/or acts of war.”
