The angst and hate over this individual’s very real and legitimate situation is ridiculous. why don’t you just reach out to her and ask her directly? You know her name, you can e-mail her or look her up on FB.
I kind of get the vibe you’re speaking in 3rd person but I’ll play along.

It’s seems awfully convenient that she drops undesirable trips for FMLA. Ok, sure, her family requires round the clock care on holidays. But not every month has a major holiday and I’m curious to see what’s being used for FMLA during those months. Schedule shouldn’t be blocked, period.

In her case I know she uses FMLA on days when a caregiver isn't available and she’s unable to drop or swap out of them due to res coverage.
IMO, no one should be receiving premium pay over the footprint of a trip dropped for FMLA. Especially not with a blocked schedule, whether the reasons for it being blocked are legimate or not.

Ok…I’m not her but if you think I’m her, then why don’t you contact me? I’ve got nothing to prove, but I’m most certainly not her. However, it’s understandable why you’d think that.

Talk to your rep if you think there’s some sort of massive fraud taking place. I think you’ll be disappointed at what the investigation uncovers.

How about MLOA, APD, IVD, PD? Can’t exclude one without excluding the others.

My kids need coverage 24/7, as do many minors. Pretty sure I could find care for them for any hour of any day, but it gets darn expensive and isn’t as ideal as them being watched by their parents. At times, we use professional help and pay for it.

At one point can I say care “isn’t available” and use FMLA to make my workdays more efficient by generating premium pay?

Just trying to understand the guardrails here. There are probably thousands of parents and adults with aging parents who have the same questions.

Maybe if she has her schedule blocked, she should be limited to fly what’s on the Wide Report. I could see where other NYC320As would be upset if she gets to play the game but doesn’t have to show her cards like everyone else.

three of those are dependent upon staffing.

How do you know said pilot used FMLA? You can’t see their schedule. Is there somewhere else to see this that I must not know about?

I guess what I’m saying is, show your work.

Ok, so the rule should now be, if the drop is dependent on staffing, you can pick up in the footprint. If the drop is not staffing depending, you should not be able to pick up in the footprint. So that eliminates FMLA, MLOA, NFLY (Covid), ALPA and SICK.

How else can we make you feel better about her using FMLA?

HR and CPO are just a phone call away. What she deals with is far beyond what I deal with in raising a toddler. I also have a family member that works part time and immediate/extended family within a 2 hour drive to help. Ever consider that she doesn’t have any of that. It’s almost as if you believe you know her exact circumstances, but in reality, you don’t. I urge you to reach out to her (or me if you think I’m her) and get the entire story if you’re so concerned about the alleged fraudulent use of FMLA.
