Please his ass ain’t calling in sick. If he didn’t use it before he won’t be using it now. He is one of those pilots that this is all he has. Sort of like the 10 plus guys on the swapa board trying to shoot holes through the offer so they can justify staying on. Hell most of them post several times a day!

What a joke! If he has a full bank, or close to it, he's obviously not using it. At 62, if you wanna burn so much sick time, you have to call every other trip and you'll still retire with sick time. He hasn't been calling in sick, so obvious he won't start now. Meanwhile he'll be working full schedule to be paid 21 TFP for 3 years. Obviously he doesn't like sitting at home or can't be around his wife, most likely.

He did mention that this open his eyes to his sick bank and is going to burn it down aggressively.
