Flying internationally, when you only work 10-12 days a month but are bumping up on block hour limits, I'm sure nobody would ever call in sick using IMSAFE to make block room.
I know with a sick, you go to the bottom of the list for GS, but have they changed it for WS too, I don't remember?
Yes, 23.P.3.e puts the pilot at the end of the list for a WS as well — if the removed rotation comes within 30 minutes of creating a FAR conflict with the trip being added.
However, you didn’t need to call in well to WS that rotation either (through PCS), as long as none of the days being added touched the footprint of your SICK rotation.
