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.
FYI (not directed at you per se) but if you need to call in sick for say a four day trip and by day two you’re back up and running, you can pick up a trip and have the sick leave you didn’t use restored. I believe there are other avenues as well like AV days.
