A question for the brains trust.
I understand you can apply to Qantas for status hold if you're on parental leave. However, is it possible to request status hold when new bub arrives if you're not on parental leave and still working fulltime?
I'll be 6 months into my membership year when bub arrives. I won't be on parental leave but will have to curtail my flying for the last 6 months of my membership year to support my partner. As a result, it will be unlikely I can retain my status . Will Qantas grant an extension on such grounds?
The status hold pages says:
"Status Hold is available for parents who are taking at least six consecutive months leave from paid employment to spend time with their family. Both parents can apply. "
However, none of the T&Cs or FAQ questions says you MUST be on paternity leave.
What have new parents done in such situation?
