So how good is Delta about granting personal time off for the birth of a child? Number 2 is due in January, and I was planning on taking all of my vacation around the birth (because....really...who wants vacation in January except for Argentinians?). Turns out, however, that to transition from NWA to DAL vacation year, fNWA guys are only going to be able to bid a small portion of our vacation between January and April. So much for the vacation plan, and I know the FMLA thing is a nonstarter, so how much luck have guys had in the past just saying, "Hey, I'm having a kid. Can I get a couple of unpaid weeks off?"
Hope so...because the wife is ****ed and my trip ends tomorrow! |

I was curious if you older and more wiser guys had any thoughts on RA's comment today regarding the AFA, IAM and other unions in the AFL-CIO filing a request with the National Mediation Board in order to change the traditional majority voting rule?

I have to admit, this FA thingy is getting interesting. I can't tell you how many times I hear from the DAL FAs that they do not want a union.
Not taking sides and of course, I only hear one side of the story. |

Hope so...because the wife is ****ed and my trip ends tomorrow! Overall, it was a very easy process, & the Eagan Central Admin Gals were super nice. I took 4 weeks off unpaid. Feel free to PM me if you have any other questions regarding my experience. Congrats on #2! :) |

They are doing a lot of work out there in MZJ. Have five of the DAL-S 757's and one 767 in storage, as well as a bunch of the DAL-N 757's. They say all of them are going to be stored so that is a good thing.

Yep, it will.
Here is to hoping...... |
