Like others said, call in sick when you're sick. Don't worry about how far ahead of a trip it is - I have been on reserve for probably more than half my time here (and it's been more then a decade) and I've never had someone call me about the timing for I called in sick for a trip. Never. And I have used plenty of sick time.
I suspect anyone who is getting called it's the people with a pattern of doing it - ie, every time they get a trip on SC they call in sick, that type of behavior.
