Thanks again for the advice lads. See y'all real soon!
Probation: Delta is your best friend until you give them a reason not to be. Now more than ever, they will be looking at your attitude. Say it again. Attitude. Got a problem in the sim? How is your attitude? Are you glad to be on the team, what can I do to help?, just want to do the best I can.. or is it 'all about you', do you blame others, is there 'friction'?
Same goes with your situation. Of course everyone will be happy for you, and supportive at Delta. It's a great thing, after all, having a baby! So how you approach it is key. Giving Delta the heads up, letting them know you'll be flexible, and then when the time comes, just tell them what's going on. I'm sure if you put your situation in the hands of the coordinator, he or she will ensure that you are able to be there for the birth. I would just 'roll with it' after you've told the coordinator about your situation. Let them handle the details and just go by what they say.
