What's missing here is that prior to today, you could also be pay protected on NFLY if someone in your immediate family tested positive for covid. that's gone. No doctor's note required. Contractually, we can't even use our sick banks for that now.
I know a few pilots who utilized NFLY to protect pregnant wives and newborns, with Dr. notes directing them to quarantine--sometimes for weeks before and after the birth--in cases of high risk pregnancies or babies with health concerns. That's gone.
