While waiting patiently in the pool I took a set of orders overseas to keep food on the table. Based on Badger's spreadsheet, I should be in the 21 March or at the latest, 4 April indoc and will be back in the states by 12 March. As for the pee test, being out of the country I won't be able to receive it, get to a lab facility, and have it returned within 7 days. I could definitely have it back before indoc starts. Will they be willing to work with me on this one or is this a hard fast rule?

Below is a copy of a previous post of mine on a different forum to give you some insight on the leaderships mentality.
Let me tell you how much Delta and CP's care about you and your family. I had a family emergency involving my 1yr old child three hours before the start of short call. The Doctor instructed me to call an ambulance and have my child taken to the closest childrens hospital. I Called the CP and he was so concerned and helpful that he removed me from short call without pay. Lost about 5hrs of pay and went to 69hrs for the month. Do you think if someone in management had a family emergency and couldn't go to work they would be docked a days pay? Turns out if you are based in LAX, SEA, or MSP state law requires them to use your sick leave to pay you. But if you are based in ATL Delta will be happy to save money on the back of your family emergency. I spoke with ALPA and they said contractually nothing can be done but the CP has the authority to make sure you are still paid. All of the Delta family crap is just that a bunch of propaganda. If the contract allows it they will do it. All of the new guys on here tell me if this treatment is inline with what you are told in indoc? I think you will able to answer the original question for yourself.

Lesson learned. The decision that I made was passed through my mentor and my dad who has been a pilot at DAL for 28yrs. Neither one of them thought the CP would treat me the way he did. I hope all of the new guys on here can learn from this and gain a little insight into all of the sick leave abuse crap they are shoving down our throats.
