BUT be fully aware. If you call in sick you are being graded.
Management has a pilot report card on you with your name picture. So If you call or e-mail your fleet capt or scp. The first thing they do is pull up your report card. If it shows you have not called in sick in (15 years for example) you are a good guy. They will listen to you. If it shows you call in sick "frequently" you are graded as a non player= bad employee.
The report card also has every call to the DO you ever made in detail. If you were ever late. Deviated and made a mistake. The list goes on.
You may recall the company used to post top hotel room cancelers. The guys who saved company $ Beware. Just look out by the bus stops and all the cameras every where.
Call in sick or fatigued with great care.
I am sure it is in a data base, how else would they track how much you have left. As to whether or not management thinks I am abusing it has no impact on my decision and shouldn't. Since I am not, they can't prove otherwise. More so for fatigue.
