I'm ashamed of our group--seriously--a MEMO comes out and the Northern Mississippi/Alabama flying club freaks out and stops calling in sick...typical, typical, typical...
It has had a positive effect. Notice I wasn't parked at the table in the crew room this week? Yeah, apparently the sick scare and the 200% open time netted me THREE reserve days at home where my phone never rang. I called scheduling after my last contactable period ended just to make sure I was still employed.....
I'd trade those home reserve days for a better contract, though.
