Sorry to hear about your situation. I hope it works out against all odds.

Does anyone know if there is a way to see if you elected to retain your vacation on an AE? I'm almost positive I clicked retain vacation on my bid but because I got an award on the AE all my preferences were deleted on iCrew. Normally I take screenshots of everything, but I forgot this time...
When I actually got a hold of someone in Training Planning they claimed I hadn't and so they said my vacation will be liquidated.
Sidenote for anyone wondering if Training Planning will 'work with you' if you have a major life event (like I was told by CPO) they absolutely will NOT lift a finger and do not care one bit. And I'm not talking special deals or anything outside the PWA which I would never want. Just basic understanding or even 'we can't promise anything but we'll try and work something out' instead it's, 'we don't care.' I guess I should have just never had anything going on in my life and never bid on an AE.
I've seen a lot of people on here say you are nothing to the Co., you are just a number, the 'Delta Family' is utter BS but I never really believed them until now.

If you have a major life event, call out. End. Sort out the semantics later. Don't come to work AFU, that's how we got into this whole staffing issue to begin with.

I had the same sad interaction with training just after my mother died. When I finally got to training they asked why didn't you talk to the Fleet Captain or now we could use the Chief Training Captain. I would strongly recommend that avenue. As to the rest, I could not agree more! We are nothing to Delta except a number.

Again...just wow. What a great way to build a strong team.
On second reading, if you mean my original question about the vacation, I will ask them and see if they know anything, thanks.

With one notable exception I have not found this to be the case. They do I suspect look at work records before making decisions and if available self help was used. I flew with a pilot once who was angry they refused to drop a drip for his daughters graduation. I knew he was a very senior copilot so asked why he did not just bid it off. He said he had other priorities that month (Cabo fishing trip was one) and felt there was no need to bid it off as the company should drop the trip.
