An eligible airline flight crew employee is entitled to 72 days of FMLA leave during any 12-month period for one or more FMLA-qualifying reasons. This entitlement is based on a uniform six-day workweek for all airline flight crew employees, regardless of the time actually worked or paid, multiplied by the statutory 12-workweek entitlement for FMLA leave. For example, if an employee took six weeks of leave for an FMLA-qualifying reason, the employee would use 36 days (6 days x 6 weeks) of the employee’s 72-day entitlement.
An eligible airline flight crew employee is entitled to 156 days of military caregiver leave during a single 12-month period to care for a covered servicemember with a serious injury or illness. This entitlement is based on a six-day workweek multiplied by the statutory 26-workweek entitlement for military caregiver leave.
