I got the email from the PAC today about the FMLA saying that info that the company has says my "absence suggests I may be entitled to FMLA protection." Still waiting for the call back from HArvey Watt on that one!
I've always used SCK for being SCK, and have been down to 0 DSA twice (currently about 300) thanks to my orthopedic surgeon.

Great trip, easy to do, lots of credit for little time away. Problem is, everyone else thinks so too, lots of requests for M/U or VLT. Sure, you would love the money now, everyone does, but requesting a trip is not the same as getting it.
If you have a full or nearly full sick bank, this is a better play than hoping you can beat the BOTS. It isn't instant gratification, but its real money never the less.

It's funny that all these make-up codes and the order or precedence for processing still don't prevent the "Usual Suspects" from getting all the good charter trips. Are these guys perpetually sick or take the first 5 weeks of vacation to go in the hole? Processing of bid line adjustments is just another area that the Secret Kingdom veils in secrecy, despite contractual language which which should ensure fairness.
