I had the 4th off last year and they called for an IA. This year I don't have it off and I'm one of over 60 FOs they put on reserve for that day on the 88. Normally 30-40 reserves is what you see on a given day and 20ish once the month starts to take it's toll. Lots of people want it off and they're probably expecting lots of sick calls.
Whether guys call in sick is a different story, but they probably have to expect it and given it's trsa season doesn't help.
