This should be the slogan for our standardization AND the MEC
Unfortunately, it could also be the slogan for Delta's DCI/Alaska/AF scope.

Not sure how all this works with calling in sick while on reserve(actually never done it)...searched this forum, but not much came up.
Thanks.

The trip will be removed and you will get credited your guarantee; 70 hrs divided by the max number of on call days for a month. This month it is 18, so 3.89 hrs per sick call day. If you are mid rotation and have flown on the day you call in sick on, you will not get sick pay, nor will you get less credit than min reserve day. The subsequent days will be a R sick day.

If you are sick, you are sick, period. Let them call, give them what they ask within the confines of the PWA.

Also, make sure you call in well, and a "OK" is noted shortly after on your schedule. There have been some issues with pilots calling in well and it not showing up in the system. I had this happen to me a few months back.

Man I hope I get to see this soon!

Gives me an idea, of they used real SEALs do much so their names couldn't even be used in the credits, how about next time use real airline pilots for an airline related movie? I wonder how that would go?

Also, no matter what time of the day you call in well, that full day will be counted as sick. So to help yourself, don't call in well at 7am, more like 11:58pm.

They want to count it as sick since they cannot use you for at least 12 hrs. I have called in well at 6 am and gotten placed on LC at that time. It took some talking, but I was well and able to fly, and was not going to take another sick day. I call in well at that point.

I do agree though, most of the time, I call in well later in the day.

No kidding. I've got 160 raw while others are at 10. Think we over did it trying to observe seniority.

That makes sense.

In my scenario I called in well around 4p so they counted the remainder of the day sick but hit me with a 6am report for the next day. For me, if I'm going to get charged for sick till midnight I might as well be sick till midnight.
