I actually have had a VERY helpful ACP work with me this month when I got in ER for dehydration level sick and had some appointments with a hard to get into specialist that came up after bidding and the reserve grid didn't allow moving days. (I'm down to 15ish hours sick)
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.

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.

There’s quite a few bad cases of rectal glaucoma going around right now. It really flares up on sunny 70 F days. I hope that friend doesn’t catch it on a X day later this month and need to swipe.

DON’T FORGET TO CALL YOUR MOTHERS TOMORROW

You can't swipe sick/well on an X-day. You have to click on your next LC day and swipe sick/well. And yes, you can get a GFB right then and there, even if you're on an X day they can still call you.

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
