using sick bank for drop due birth
Expecting my first child soon. Sounds like I should have no problem dropping a drip for the birth when the wife goes into labor.
Heard that as a Minnesota resident that it is possible to get paid from my sick bank for a dropped trip for something like this. Is that true? I am on probation so probably don't want to just call in sick if the wife goes into labor but wondering if there is a legitimate way to get compensation out of the sick bank for this situation rather than an unpaid drop?
Not sure if it matters, but I am not Minneapolis based, however I do live in Minneapolis.

Just call in sick man! Wether it's bronchitis or your wife in labor, either way you are unfit for duty. If you have the wiggle room, no reason you shouldn't be paid for it. Every other job in the country has some amount of paid leave, why shouldn't we? Now, if it's your sixth "sick call" because you didn't "feel like it", that's a different issue...

They're are few things in life you just don't miss, birth of your child would be one of them, call the chief pilot.

That's a good suggestion, they should be able to help you get the days off, Also consider using some Individual Vacation Days, as well as a vacation move up, The CPO office can help you with this,

If you want to get paid, use a sick call or burn vacation days. If you don't need the money, call the CPO or use a PD/APD
