You're talking utter tosh.
If you call in sick, you DO get paid. Simple as that. You get paid your basic salary at the months end, whether you've been sick for 2-3 days or the whole month. Of course you don't get flight pay. That's because you ain't done the flight you numpty. Why on earth should you get flight pay let alone overtime when you're at home. I've never known any Airline to do that. If they do that in the good ol' US of A, is it any wonder the Airlines are in such a mess out there.
Come out with that sort of crap on the line and it's a band aid you'll be needing, not kool aid.
