I don't.

And no compensation would be due if they offered such an option on terms convenient to the pax (as AZ have done for me in the past).
It is silly to assert that no compensation is due in such a case, when AFAIK we already have precedent on aircraft parts (which stop working far less often than crew).
Otherwise, this is an open invitation for airlines to combine quiet flights because of "sick crew".
