What are they threatening? Sick time is a PWA-provided benefit that pilots can avail themselves of if they are unfit for duty. They can whine and moan all they want but I don't see how they've really got any teeth as long as people are coloring within the lines.
On a related note, as I've said in other threads I think the suspension of sick lookback verification bugs the crap out of them to a high degree and will drive them to implement QS as quickly as they can.
