Pilots are often the progeny with the assets to deal with this (because the siblings can't).

Current contract gives us something like 4 days of bereavement leave.

There has to be a better way.

One of the "generational divides" Contract 2026 has. Younger pilots have younger parents. Older pilots see this coming in a few years (or tomorrow) and would prefer some defined benefit options, not just calling the CPO and hoping they get the nice guy.
