Having to pay for the entire 3-day out of PTO would be a big step backward. I can see the benefit if you have a habit of calling out sick every month.
Not disagreeing about the 3 days of sick time problem, but you are missing an important detail about the scenario.
The scenario is you have a 5-day block of reserve, and on day one you don't feel well (and believe it will last several days). Under the current contract you have to call in sick, even though they may not call you all week. Or, you could roll the dice, and call in sick if you get an assignment, but I believe that triggers a dependability review...
So "sick if needed" let's you keep your PTO *UNLESS* they actually need to assign you something.
