At my company, one of my favorite Captains to fly with, (LD), flew for 38 years, never once sick and retired with a full sick bank. The sick bank disappeared when you retired.
I passed up on two up-grades just so I could "buddy bid" with him and to learn as much as I could.
To this day, I "take him" with me on every flight I sign for.
Sincerely,
