Fair enough, I will restate. In my experience, I haven't seen them come anywhere near terminating someone for a couple sick calls. I still hold out that there may have been other circumstances involved. I could be wrong though and just got lucky. I will concede that my statement is limited to my experience only.
Best of luck to you, I know this industry can be tough and it breaks people at times. It really shouldn't be this difficult, I cant think of another field that requires its workers to be so defensive on every single point of employment.
Envoy isn't perfect, but they have treated me pretty well, so who knows. However, I came here with the flow as an "oh ****" button of sorts and never intended to make it my default path out of the regionals, so perhaps I view things with a different set of lenses.
I would have zero issue going to work for Allegiant, Sprit or Frontier especially after they get the contract worked out. Smaller list to climb and I suspect more movement. I find little difference in spendable income from someone making mid-career pay at Allegiant in comparison to mid career pay at AA, plus they prob have a much better QOL.
Anyway, good luck to you and yours, I hope you find your way in whatever path you choose. Pilots tend to be the worst to their own kind, which to this day never ceases to amaze me and I feel holds us back far more than it pushes us forward.
