They're probably just dealing with the immediate problem: hard to attract new hires given the seniority situation, so can't staff XJT. OO can staff, so they cover the flying.
Is there a deliberate plan to phase out XJT? I don't know. SGU is probably not going to go to any great lengths to keep it on life support.

Hello all,
Random question here. Do I have to use vacation/sick time to cover a trip that I called in sick for? Or can I request to just not get paid for it?
Thanks

If you need to call off, always try to drop the trip on schedplus first. A successful drop doesn't burn any time or count against your reliability. If you need money, you can then put vacation days on your days off...But the amount is controlled by you.

They cannot use vacation, but you will be charged user time. The downside to that is that user time (if not burned by sick or emergency calls) can be used for vacation. So you effective lose some vacation when user time is burned.

I'm not sure what happens when you go below 58 hours for the month. They may want to use vacation to bring you up to the minimum hours required.
