XJT sick time accrual is not a graduated system. 5 hours a month up to 640 hour cap. We also have an occupational injury bank as well.

The red arrows have now mysteriously disappeared but the day can still come back as below staffing.
I'll do the rest when I get more time.
XJT has a min reserve staffing level also. However, there is what's called "Bad day/Worse day" trade capability. It exists for both line holders and reserve pilots.
Real simple explanation; Say you have a day trip on Monday and have Tuesday off, but would prefer to work Tuesday instead. Monday is showing -1 pilots on reserve, but Tuesday is showing -3 pilots on reserve. The trade will go through because you are lessening reserve coverage on the "worse day". It also works for multi day trips. In the above example, say a 4 day was Mon-Thrs, but you want to shift to a Tue-Fri trip, same thing. As long as Friday has MORE negative reserve coverage than Monday, it'll move the trip. A reserve pilot can use it to move their days off around, with certain restrictions of course. Can't create a single reserve day, etc.
