I'm with you. I only call in sick when I'm sick, which has been a total of 9 days in 7 years.
However, between an accusatory tone from a scheduler who doesn't know me when I call in sick and SD memo, maybe I'll just start flying sick. Prevent being harassed especially if it's a minor thing. Of course, if I could bank the sick time maybe I'd fly sick... or maybe I wouldn't, maybe I'd more free to call in sick because no longer are other pilots calling info for sickcations... or maybe, they're all flying sick. Which will make me sick.
Basically I don't have any solution here. Just saying that between this airline and my last and probably every one out there, we get in trouble if fly sick and there is always a bean counter out there who wants us to get in trouble if we call in sick.
