I've heard that's how NWA pilots had it set up. It'd be nice to have the set aside just in case you ever needed it.
I'm willing to bet sick calls would go down dramatically as well. Why should guys who abuse the system be the only ones who benefit from it? I am not a use it or lose it type of guy, if I'm sick, I'm sick I could careless what the policy is at that point. While I may disagree with the use it or lose it mentality, I certainly understand why some people take that perspective.
Downside would be the guys that come to work sick just to save those hours.
