That would be really ****ty if that stomach bug was persistent and didn't get better until all of the rest of your sick time ran out sometime in June or July. At least you wouldn't use any of your 2026-27 sick time getting better. You'd just keep using your 2025-26 time until your stomach fully healed, or you ran out of it. Which might take a while since you've only used 80 hours.
On a totally separate topic, at least the GFB you already got would cover all of that sick time and remove it from any future look back requirements. Even if it was for another 100+ hours.
Hopefully you get better for your next trip though, bc it would suck to be sick for a month or two.

And yes, thank you GG for not flying sick despite harassment from the company. And hope he/she feels better soon.

Did they say what was the reason for the GFB? Like what triggered it? Calling out sick within a certain amount of time of a trip or something?

I know they can't technically do that, but I really didn't want to get into it with them. I already wasn't feeling well, I just wanted to be left alone at home. So I got on Galileo and had them to write a note through a 5 minute chat.

I didn't answer the phone. He left a voicemail but didn't give a reason. Either way, they immediately sent an email to my work and personal email saying "per our conversation, I am requesting..."

With that said, 80 hours in 4 months is generally considered a lot of sick time.
