sorry, another part time question... if you were 75% 3 on / 1 off, could you tag your leave weeks onto the part time week off? And what about the DFW? And how would reserve work? Cheers.
Answer
... Probably not ....
Apparently there's a big recurring whinge going on about the credited hour system making you work far harder in the month in which you have leave, than even in a fully screwed up JSS month. Then they ask to buy back your leave for
peanuts and apparently the leave doesn't get replaced either. Counter productive and oppressive, or what ?

Referring back to my post #6695 some ten pages ago,
Our LH Pub Mole tried to explain but in between laughing, crying and spilling his beer, the only bit that made sense was ....
If you're part time you will be cheated out of two or three free days each month. Your part time days will start the day after your last trip. You will lose the industrial rest days (usually two for longhaul) that ordinarily follow the trip. You will therefore become available to work again, two days earlier than a full time pilot.
Part timers are thus working harder pro-rata than their full time mates. This doesn't happen in VS.
