We can call it what we like but we just have just seen different ranges of over and under staffed. I can remember 0 time lines and the company getting so short they tried to JM a guy into a three day trip and only call it 1 JM event.

Another question for you fine folks. I always hear you’ll miss birthday, holidays, events. What I understand is I get missing holidays, but for birthdays or anniversaries wouldn’t if you wanted to be off you could technically just call in one day a year even if you’re bumped from the time off you put in or is this not how airlines work where you can just call in sick?

Envoy is hyper focused on perceived “sick call abuse”
That said I think it is still done and in my experience average joe pilot is unlikely to have issues unless he comes to managements attention in some way (union activity, social media posts, TCAS RA etc)

People call in sick for all kinds of reasons. Some legit, some perhaps not. Don’t abuse the system and you would be fine. Call in sick on your birthday and you will probably garner the attention of managment.
If you are sick, call in, if not do so at your own risk and if you get busted the company is in their right to punish you.
