I think he's talking about regionals being whipsawed against each other and saying that we could be whipsawed against AM.

I was passed over for a GS. Does sick time count towards FAR flight time for the purposes of GS legality? Seem to remember that change in the last contract.

Yep, sick trips count in your FAR calculations for GS and WS for the first time around the list. After one time through the fallout list you’re back to normal.

If you call in sick during a month you try to GS, you go to the bottom of the list for GS. You will get your first before someone gets their second.

I think this is the bad rumor running around and it's even perpetuated by some schedulers.

If you call in sick, and the trip you would otherwise have flown WOULD HAVE made you ineligible or illegal for a GS, you go behind the others. It's not for the whole month. It doesn't penalize you for sicking out, it just doesn't allow you to use sick to enhance access to GS flying.

Denny,

Not quite correct. When the HAL 9000 checks to see if you are legal to fly a Greenslip it will treat the sickout as if you flied the trip.

If you could have flew the sicked out trip and the GS - you will still get the GS.

If you would have flew the sicked out tip and it would have made you ineligible for the GS - you go to the back off the list for that particular GS - not the whole month. You can still get it if no one else is legal for it.

Now for the rest of the month the HAL 9000 will assume that you flew the sicked out trip trip when it checks for legality of Greenslips.

In my opinion this is a positive. A few guys were using tactical sick calls to get a greesnlip that should have gone to another Delta Pilot.

This has zero effect on the number of GS's that go out but prevents a few contract Ninjas from hosing their fellow Pilots.
