Understand the 30 days notice is a Delta requirement. The 30 day notice requirement under the FMLA only applies to elective surgery which can be scheduled in advance. Unless your child is going to be delivered via C Section, known more than 30 days in advance, then there is NO thirty day requirement.
Unfortunately, ALPA's insurance "expert" is no help. She is unaware that President Obama signed the Flight Crew Technical Corrections Act, and how FMLA is properly applied.
The real core problem is that Delta's Human Resource Policy Manual has not been updated since the change in the Statute. HR is following wrong guidance. ALPA's "expert" is following Delta's guidance.

Try Section 13.H of the PWA for FMLA. The HPRM was updated in August 2010 to reflect the changes in law. Oh, the PWA and Delta policy provided for Family Leave in accordance with the 1993 law even though it technically didn't cover pilots and flight attendants.
Without getting overtly political, I'm sure you actively supported those that brought this rule into being in 1993 and improved upon it in 2009.

If the sequence of events is a little off it is because I have a really good, but really short memory. Anybody feel free to edit/amend/correct my post.

I'm guessing he will never throw gear for you. He probably does not meet the college education requirement of Delta. I treat everyone with respect. The truth is though for us to take back our flying, we have to put our current regional pilots on the street. Some of them will make it to the majors, some of them will not. It is what it is. We can't have it both ways. Joe Merchant will preach this all day. He's against us, and I don't blame him.

IMO, this type of thinking allows all of us to be whipsawed against each other. Only when you take hosing a fellow pilot or group out of the mix, will we ever move forward with owning more of our flying.

Boomer,
Given the quality of your posts, sense of humor and so forth I sure as heck hope you get hired here soon.
A lot of people sometimes misconstrue the hiring of 22 year olds with low time (not 259 hours per se but not 3000 either) as a sign of a cheap airline, when in fact it had to do a lot with trying to grab quality pilots before they went elsewhere. Remember an old experienced pilot costs just the same.
In the same respect I hope the airline takes into account stagnation on the regional side, much of it our fault given we allowed so much flying to move there, but anyways I hope they take that into account and seek out quality FOs (as they did in 07/08) and hire the good ones. Boomer, I'm guessing you'd be a good one.

Quick and dirty.. and I might get this a little wrong, but the gist will be there. Comair goes on strike. DAL pilots support them with lawyers guns and money. Comair says thanks. (Good enough) Then.... DAL furloughs. DALPA asks for jobs at Comair for the furloughed pilots. (I do not know the particulars) Comair MEC chairman (JC Lawson... ) decides that DAL pilots must resign their seniority numbers to come work there. DAL pilots say thank you.. well.. not really THANK you.. Hence the bad blood between DAL and Comair.

Hockey, why the animosity?
