Over 40 days VA between APR & MAY. Sucks but guess what....EK were never going to let us take that leave in any other way. It would have just sat in your leave bank till the day you resigned. Take the opportunity to get out of DXB for an extended period. I actually think many people will come to their senses during that time and realise what a toxic brainwashed existence they have been living - and finally make that decision to call it a day with EK.
