In Eva you have 8 (BDOs) per month, several (DO) within the month, and 20 (increasing with the years) (AL) per year. (DO) are in Taiwan, and Layover (LO) are when on a trip.
Yes, the 8 Blocks Days Off (BDO) ARE consecutive and guaranteed, you request them and you can also add Annual Leave (AL) days (So you can request 8 BDOs and the 2 AL and you will have 10 continuous days off). Apart from those days, you have the regulatory, between flights Days Off (DO) and depends if you come from a Long Haul or Short Haul, you can get 36hrs, 24hrs, etc, etc between flights and then maybe some Standby Days.
Hope is more clear now. If not then ask and I'll try to explain again.
Phantom, thanks for clarifying that. Nice having details from someone who's actually there. Is it possible to have the last 8 of the month off followed by the first 8 of the next, giving 16 off?
Cheers
