Sick leave provisions is changed to a minimum 14 days plus 4 days URTI ..(you were not even close WW);
Paid Reserve.
Is it presently the case that is flying is cancelled by the company the pilot is not paid?
With respect to the sick leave, the FWA decision (although appealed) was very clear; the conversion of sick leave DAYS to HOURS was not to short change workers like pilots working longer shifts.
The compensation due the affected workers is substantial and any pilot who works under this arrangement and is 'represented' by a union ought be asking precisely what the union intends to do about the illegally deducted sick leave.
