23.P.3 actually seems pretty clear. Here is the big picture: If you flew your rotation rather than calling in sick, would the FARs permit you to white slip that trip you put in for considering the PWA's 30 minute buffer? If the answer is yes, you got screwed and you need to call DALPA scheduling ASAP. If the answer is no, all is as it should be.
However, don't forget that you get the added "bonus" that the PWA allows you to white slip a trip you would not have been legal for had you flown your original rotation (the one you sicked out from) if that rotation has not been awarded after processing all submitted white slips.
This is basically the same for a white or greenslip.
Remember, if no one else is available you would get the Greenslip even if you would have been illegal had you not called in sick.
So if you put in a WS request you will definitely not get the GS.
Bottom line - You go to the back of the list if your sick time make you legal for something you would not have been legal for.
