Q: Did LAA maintain the current sick policy in our JCBA? – LAA / LUS

A: Legacy AA’s sick policy is not incorporated into this JCBA. Instead, several negotiated protections and improvements are included in the contract in this area. For example:

• All sick time will now be paid and credited at 100%
  
• Sick Accrual in JCBA is now 1,500 hours effective 1/1/15, for LAA. (LAA previously had a max accrual of 1,000 hours)
  
• The company is restricted from asking for a doctor’s note simply based on the number of times a Flight Attendant calls in sick. Section 9
