Your daughter stops over on Saturday after work to say hi. She takes a shower before the company picnic and then has a piece of your Key Lime Pie. She has another piece because you make a great pie. You give her a hug tell you love her and then wish her fun at her picnic. Then three days later you get woken up on a layover with a phone call to realize that you will never see her ever again. It is quite trite but true. Enjoy every minute with your kids and family.

I would offer to fly one of your trips so you could spend as much time as you need with your family. Does anybody even know if we can do that? Can we cover a trip for a fellow pilot and have the company pay the person on bereavement?

Alfa, so sorry to hear this. As a father of 4, 3 are girls, this is always one of my biggest fears. Ever since they started driving, I've been waiting for that call. It keeps us up late at night until they get home or call in safe, but I know some day I'll probably get that call.
If there's anything we can do for you and your family, please don't hesitate to ask. You know we are all praying for you and your family to get through this tragedy. I hope Delta is giving you some time off to deal with this.
