Options:

1. FMLA - up to 90 days off, no pay.

2. Talk to your CP.
My conversation:
CP - "what do you what to do?"
Me - "take my next 2 four-day trips off."
CP - "done, enjoy, call me with updates."

No pay, but no headache either.


Hope it helps.

No pay?

No out of your sick bank?

No way.

Is that the DAL FMLA policy?

I doubt this helps as I'm well aware we are two separate companies but at Comair you can only use sick time for FMLA taken for yourself (ie. your having surgery or your sick). You can't use sick time for FMLA to care for a family member. I'm not sure if that is a company policy or written in the FMLA law (or if child birth falls under the latter scenario).

I ended up just moving my x days around the birth (planned c section). After talking with multiple people, this was the solution.

Depends on where you are based. If you are LA, you have options under CA state law.

Congrats on the new one Beer! I moved a vacation week to the week my wife was due, bid reserve for the month she was due, moved as many x-days as I could using PCS, then talked to the CP about moving what I couldn't do with PCS. I got 18 days off with 14 of those in a block for that month and lost no pay. When you start dropping stuff, the paycheck gets smaller.

Oh no.. you are not really going down that "there is something in the wind" again are you ACL. You have a certain credibility here, but with these kinds of statements, you are starting to throw it into the dumpster.
