My sick bank has been waaay low so I've moved around my days off when I've been sick. A long term medical condition obliterated my sick bank and it's still recovering 3+ years later.
Any LTD is going to easily take out 250 hrs of your sick bank. I'll stop moving around my days off rather than burn sick leave once I've got 250 hrs of SL. This month, I finally have >200 hrs of SL again.
SFO 787 has a >49 hr SFO-PVG-LAX-PVG-SFO 6 day. Call in sick for that one trip and it wipes out a full year's sick leave.
Of course that's different than having a sick bank of 1000+ hrs.
