I went to my ACP who was SM. He took my case up to Crew Pay and Crew Skeds. He came back and said..."We lost...We need to change that in the contract!"

The intent of the rule is if you are truly long term sick (i.e. the entire month) then it should cost you the entire months RLG to cover it.
To me, it appeared you did "work" that month --- but your "work days" were covered by your vacation bank.
