So I get his trip and he gets mine.
Once again our RR and scheduling section need to be addressed ASAP.
I would look into that and make sure it is a valid reroute. It does not sound like it is irop related.

That's not a very humble attitude mister.
You need to run some laps with your backpack on.

On a more serious note: I don't think they can do that. They can't just swap you out with another guy because he hit the FAR limit. There must be more to the story. Either that or you are due some premium pay for an illegal re-route.

Delta only pays for the will, which is great, but it shouldn't cost much to complete the remainder of the documents. If you are married, your wife needs them, too. If you have minor children, a trust will be needed.

If you are doing this for you parents, consult with NAELA.org, the National Association of Eldercare Attorneys. I used them to find an attorney for my parents out of state. I looked like a hero to my family when my mother passed and my incapacitated father needed care. It was worth every penny and more to have made the effort to find a specialist.

For myself, I did not take advantage of Delta's service. Rather, I used Hurley Elder Care Law in Atlanta. In and out in a jiffy. Everything was done to my satisfaction. I did have to pay for the will, but I got all of the other stuff done, too.
Orvil, PD etc...

I am not disputing anything being said. I am just reporting what happened when I used the Hyatt Service.
I called Delta, they gave me a number to Hyatt, I told them where I live and I wanted a trust. Hyatt then passed on to me several Estate Lawyers under their umbrella near my residence. I called one of them, made an appointment after he sent me a bunch of paperwork to fill out. Much like new hire indoc. At the appointment I informed said lawyer my goals and desired outcomes.
At the final signing I had a trust, power of attorney for both myself and spouse, living and death wills, dispositions of property for certain health states etc..
I now have everything I could think of complete for Estate Planning and it cost me ZERO thanks to this Delta benefit.
Now if someone else has a different experience then I count myself lucky or you taken advantage of. Those are the facts and I have the big Trust binder proving it. Bottom line, its worth investigating if you need this accomplished.

I thought it was free, just for the Will?

They did a trust for free? Wow!

Which type of trust did you end up going with? If you don't mind me asking.

A: Yes, by mutual agreement with Crew Scheduling. You may enter your request in PCS under “Leave Requests” by selecting “Payback Days.” Your pay will depend on the number of payback days available for use. If the number of days available are sufficient to cover the entire rotation, that number of days will be used and you will be paid for the entire rotation. If the number of days is not sufficient to cover the entire rotation, all available payback days will be placed on the days of the rotation, beginning with the first of such days, and you will be paid the value of those days only. You will forfeit any pay or guarantee for the remainder of the rotation. Note that credit resulting from application of duty rigs is always tied to the last duty period of the rotation.

Denny
Thanks Denny

I had the exact same experience... everything you listed and all at my favorite pilot price... Free! (I just did all this last year.)
