FMLA part 2

[Mookie]

Thanks for all the original replies I got about fmla, but I was hoping to get a roll call of different airlines that 'allow' it.

I was told by a senior manager at my fine airline w a certain innuit on the tail that JetBlue is the ONLY airline in north America that offers it which is utter bunk so I'm looking for names of those that do to put on his desk.

Need facts on this, not commentary!!!

Thanx y'all,
mookie

Geez....even Mesa let me take it...3 times.

However, I did not accrue longevity while on leave.

psa airlines, though a regional they let pilots and f/a's take it. Don't think it's an issue with the new bill that was passed

Took it at Frontier, full 12 weeks, and i payed for some of it with vacation time.

Pinnacle does. I took it for the birth of my child a few years ago.

My husband flies a bus for an airline that flies in both North and South America. Last year, when I had to have him take FMLA to care for me it was a no brainer and all went smoothly.

 

[Buzo]

SkyWest and Delta both have it.

 

[catIIIc]

CAL has it, i used it for the birth of my second child.

 

[kf4amu]

Piedmont has it. I have intermittent fmla with them.

All companies with at least 50 employees are required by federal law to offer FMLA. This information must be posted in a location that you can see it. As long as you work a certain number of hours per year, you can take leave for any of the following:

1. A serious illness
2. A family member's serious illness (in your household or someone you are responsible for).
3. Birth of a child
4. To care for a family member who is in the service and is injured as a result of that service.

This isn't an all inclusive list, it's from my muddled memory so be sure that you check out all of the various requirements. Document, document, document!

We already covered all that, ad-nauseum, in the ORIGINAL FMLA thread you'll see on this page.

The poster started a 2nd thread JUST to get the NAMES of the company that DO, without a DOUBT, have past history of giving pilots FMLA leave upon request, as there ARE, even though it's illegal, a few airlines (including his), that do NOT.

I suspect he's doing it to dump the legislation and the list of airlines that do in the airline's lap and, hopefully, following it up with a DoL filing for breech of FMLA requirements.

So, does your airline give it and what airline do you work for?

 

[LowlyPropCapt]

Nah. I'll just PM you Lear.

 

[Mookie]

Bump....

Still looking for any more that would have it:

American?
Continental?
Southwest?
Fed Ex?
regionals too.....

Thanks
Mookie

Every company in US has to have it. It is a federal law. One of a very few things Bill Clinton done right.

Trans States Airlines did. I took 6 weeks off (my choice) after each of our 2 pregnancies, no questions asked.

Good luck with your quest!
