It’s still not fair. I’ve had no sick days in the last 6 months but several in the last 2 years. Also I think we all know that the new cadets don’t call in sick during line training and it is far more likely to happen during the exhausting summer schedule.

a new SO is very unlikely to have a full ATPL, be command ready and have the helpful experience that is needed to help the day go smoothly. The proposed matrix doesn’t consider any of these things. You might even think it was designed to target the longer serving pilots in favour of the (cheaper) new ones. But only if you’re a cynic.
