I worked for GF... and it was 29days after her birth before I got to see my new daughter....and that was on a quick 5 hour visit as I was in the UK doing my six monthly GF B767 sim check.
I had previously requested leave for this event and or 3 days off if this was impossible ...I was told all options were unavailable.
I did see my next daughter born and was glad I did as there were not to be any further children...how did I escape to see it?....sorry it is still on the official state secret list...as a bonus I also got to visit a dentist!
