Denny,
Not quite correct. When the HAL 9000 checks to see if you are legal to fly a Greenslip it will treat the sickout as if you flied the trip.
If you could have flew the sicked out trip and the GS - you will still get the GS.
If you would have flew the sicked out tip and it would have made you ineligible for the GS - you go to the back off the list for that particular GS - not the whole month. You can still get it if no one else is legal for it.
Now for the rest of the month the HAL 9000 will assume that you flew the sicked out trip trip when it checks for legality of Greenslips.
In my opinion this is a positive. A few guys were using tactical sick calls to get a greesnlip that should have gone to another Delta Pilot.
This has zero effect on the number of GS's that go out but prevents a few contract Ninjas from hosing their fellow Pilots.
