What is far worse is that we can't use sick time for a situation like that. That is absolutely morally wrong.

On the Wide Report (for FO at least), some of the rotations have a little plus sign in the top right corner. What does this represent?

I have used "state sick", which is what the company calls it, from NV and I am based in LAX. All that matters as far as I know is that you are based in the state.

It is where you are based. Its an employer obligation to an employee that works in MN

777 -- 100% blue days
765 and 717 -- mostly blue days (go figure, 717 blue days...)
330, 73n, and 320 -- mostly blue days except weekends
7er and m88 -- almost no blue days
I've got 29 PB days burning a hole in my pocket but for now it looks like I'll be eating those for vacation.

I looked at all the planes on the FO side in ATL. Didn't write it down and my memory is just meh but here's what I recall.

More than likely a person with a lot of payback days is an F/O the 7ER or smaller because the people who earned a lot of PB days in the past year were F/Os on the 717, 88, and 320.
Therefore, these people are now either still on narrowbodies or are the plug on the 330/765 at best.
Therefore, they are still on fleets that will result in working almost every single reserve day.
The best use of PB days is to bid a line and drop workdays worth 6-7 hours.
Bid a 25hr 4-day trip and only burn 4 PB days to drop it with pay.
To accomplish the same net time off result on reserve would eat up PB days much faster.

Correct. But with the WS pickup limit of ALV + 15 how often does that come into play? In fact I had a particularly clever pilot once tell me that he used PB days to drop a trip... then white slipped the trip he just dropped! I think I bought him a beer just for the cool points.
