This wouldn’t be an issue if you didn’t have a minimum credit per month requirement. All of this is quite silly if the choice is between getting paid and crediting your sick bank... what’s the difference?
When you end up not fit to fly(stupid pilot tricks, cancer, whatever) you have to remain on the payroll to get to short term disability. At Alaska it takes around 230hrs of SL to make it. If you drop off the payroll before than your benefits go away. Period. SLMU helps restore your SL balance to that magic number. Thats all
