Now assuming you have no sick time, SMLU allows you to pick up a 2-day trip to pay into your sick bank? What's the difference between that and just picking up a 10 hr 2-day at just normal rate/normal schedule? You get 70 hrs regular + 0 sick + 10 hr pickup. I guess I'm not seeing the advantage. You're still picking up and flying a trip. Does it matter if it's going into sick bank or regular pay, either way, you're getting paid.

I just think it sounds weird that you can do a trip with the purpose of padding your sick bank. Don't we already get rapid sick re-accrual if you did call in sick? The bank should fill back up quickly right?
