Unless one is exceedingly unhealthy, there's no practical way of recovering the allocated time without risking a policy violation and possible termination.
If it is a big issue to enough pilots, you guys need to trade the allocation for dollars, or extra time off as an optional contractual issue.
Lets see, 1200 hours times roughly $250/hour equals one stupid mother****er. I will be leaving the property with exactly zero in my sick bank. You've earned it, you use it. I'll pass on the CPO patting me on the back as I walk out the door saying, good job on the SL usage Fred.
Unbelievable !!
