As much as DL loves to do "DL family" rah rah speak, while they got me off the trip, other than S1A authorized, that was it for help getting to dads bedside.

I and another DL CA did more when a friend got hurt bad in a motorcycle crash far from home (like ICU and multiple emergency surgeries bad, he's better now) , I bought his wife a ticket, and by pure dumb luck the CA on the flight was a guy whose name I recognized from the memes page of all places, and I called him and told him what the deal was (last flight of night, she was going to be tight on making it if TSA was backed up) and he made sure she got on the flight and was taken care of. That's far more than the "we will PD the rest of your trip without pay, DH you back to your base, and S1A is authorized" that I got from DL.
