Well, that has changed recently. Supposedly it's now 4 sick calls within a rolling 12 month period gets you a step one advisory. Unfortunately it's actual calls, and not a block of days, so if you're sick you just have to call out for the whole trip rather than individual days. The whole thing is rediculous, because sick time is part of the compensation negotiated in our CBA. If you burn more sick time than you have, you lose pay, so the company really shouldn't care, but it's just part of the screw tightening.
You are incorrect about blocks of days vs calls with sick time. I'm walking proof that the pure number of calls doesn't matter; just the number of occurrences. You're also incorrect about the automatic step one after 4 occurrences.
