He emailed me a bunch of direct contacts to deal with insurance and actually knew the sick year transition stuff very well. Preposted sick, and can PD more days if needed to get me out of this sick year. Also "don't fly of not well, but you need to work at least one trip/RES day to reset if out sick when year swaps over"

Credit where credit is due. He's been very helpful.

I’ll double that rumor. Not a res bidder, but my understanding is call out sick on X day 2 prior to first res day, call in prior to 6am on first LC day, zero sick used, first day of res now unusable.

There are always outliers.

Been here almost a decade and haven't had even one GFB. That's being in multiple bases.

Can the CPO GFB if sick on an X-day? Does swipe for sick/well work on an X-day or does it take a phone call? That's a RES ninja move that even the racketeers could learn from.

seeing as how i got gfb’d for calling out sick at 10pm burning a full sick day, 20 hours in advance of a SC in order to specifically “do the right thing”, and give them 18+ to get another reserve on the SC window, my GAS factor is zero. Oh and they unilaterally shut off 10+ PB usage so…………yeah
