Ehhh, why would you trigger sick status on an empty schedule? Of course if you fall down the jetbridge stairs and create a high-profile injury, you probably are on the hook. But for 99% of the illness/injury/grieving we might face, it wouldn't make little sense to call out from zero flying obligations. Just sayn'!
