Man, I can think of 5 different ways to measure sick pay usage.

1. Number of sick calls
2. Number of trips dropped for sick
3. Percentage of total credit hours that are paid as sick
4. Days of sick leave taken
5. Reserve utilization

I have a hard time believing any or all of those can be measured comparatively with other airlines. I've never seen American's or United's data published. Has anyone else?

Color me skeptical.
