I was told in 2013 that I was the last pilot to be approved by NK for intermittent paternal FMLA because "they weren't required to by law so they weren't going to any longer". I highly suggest you look at other options for childbirth, namely vacation and sick time. Keep in mind, once on FMLA, you are on leave, meaning no bidding, etc. You are well within your rights to use sick time for wife's childbirth and any subsequent care for that child/wife per the CBA.
