A college buddy worked the ramp at Airtran a few years ago and they had a program where they received a bonus for attendance. If I remember correctly, they had $1 put into a bank for every shift that he was on time for and if there were no sick calls in a year, they would double or triple it at payout. He said it was company wide, but I am not sure if it applied to pilots.

Either UPS or FedEx has (or had) a incentive that is paid out in December and it is somehow related to the sick bank.

The chance to win a 42" flat screen TV is nice, but this is just another example of trying to get your employees to work sick, and then make their co workers sick. Management should try to staff the airline properly and allow us to behave like adults and use our sick time as we see fit, without fear of disciplinary action. But wait, that would require a fair contract to attract and keep more people. Some nice prizes would be much cheaper than a fair contract for our pilots.
