As far as the handling of sick and how it affects GS assignment... I talked to a 350 pilot who was told by a scheduler that he "went to the bottom of the list for 30 days after sicking out of a trip". Kind of scary to think schedulers can have that level of misunderstanding about our contract. I think/hope they don't manually create the GS list, though, so that person's misunderstanding hopefully doesn't actually affect anyone.
I'm not wholly familiar with the new sl/gs provision in the PWA. Does it basically state that you're last in line for a GS during the footprint of any trip that gets dropped due to sicking out?
