At AA we have “sick if needed”. You code yourself sick via the app. You “clear sick” via the app when well. If you would have been needed for an assignment when on “sick if needed,” you’ll be notified and charged sick for the 1 day (regardless of how many days the trip assignment was). Now you’re officially “sick” and will be charged sick time for each subsequent day of reserve until you “clear sick”.
So yeah, it prevents burning sick time when on reserve by calling in sick and not even being used.
