Are golden days (reserve) treated like Xdays for greenslip flying, i.e. single pay on top of reserve guarantee, or do you get a premium?
My wife is due in March. Any chance the company will pay out my vacation while I take fmla or personal leave? I know its a stretch...
For all you South guys/gals coming "up north," glad to have you, welcome to Minneesnowta.
The company is very good about working with pilots to get time off for life events. If you are a reserve pilot, ask the chief pilot to move your X-Days. If you are a regular line pilot ask the chief pilot if someone needs a trip for currency (since most categories are overstaffed). If none of those work out, ask him what he can do to help you out. The sooner you ask the easier it is for him to help you.
