No! You can't do that.

Agree 100%. When I worked at Delta, I never gave advance notice of anything UNTIL I had orders in hand. Why? Just as you said. I always got burned. But once you had orders, I put the MLOA on the schedule. I also told my unit, once I drop MLOA, the unit's hands were now tied so that if my trip/TDY/whatever didn't happen, they would need to find something for me to do for the lost days at work.

As far as working for Delta while on mil leave I can see lots of issues with that. How does it effect your under 30 or over 30 day status. Who's health care are you under. Does the UCMJ allow for that? What happens if you have a OJI ect...
You CAN NOT be on civilian and military status at the same time! Please see your local JAG about this. I'm not an expert but this is a huge no no. Fullofluv and Paok know people who were effed by this. I do too. We had an entire unit that was practically "double dipping" and it sparked a Congressional investigation.

SWAPA stepped in and just got him a few months without pay since technically company wasn't harmed only the government.
History shows no matter how good the deal some will angle to make it even a better deal, even compromising their integrity to do so.
Exactly.

Correct. USERRA has a great website with several helpful items: fact sheets, training CBTs, guides, and handouts.
Just follow the law and you can not be fired. If you don't follow the law, you can be fired.
