Couldn't agree more with the above comment. This management has no respect or value towards it's aircrew, and they seem to have a perverse desire to keep piling on. Frankly, I don't mind, as it gives me a legitimate excuse to take a month off during the year as and when I so see fit...as I did this year. Will do so again next. If they can pay our KA brethren, they can pay us. If not, then I simply look at it as another months holiday sometime in the coming year. Don't stress, just get even.
