I don't want to sound like a company suckup (I'm sure I'll get some incoming for this), but look at this from the company's point of view. How would you plan for last minute sick calls? I'd love to read a workable alternative.
I'm not going to lob grenades at you 😜but as a commuter a FS assignment would be better for me. I'm coming in anyway. At least it's only for 4 vs. 14 hours. And duty starts right away; they can't drag the day out to 18-19 hrs.
I certainly agree there isn't a one size fits all solution. Just hope our negotiation peeps look into some possible improvements the next time around.
After all; if a pilot isn't complaining about something they're probably dead!
