We'll see how many KA guys volunteer their 3 weeks away. During SARS it was less that 25%. In CX it was nearly 99%.
I forgot to mention that during SARs the majority of KA pilots offered to take unpaid leave but only a small proportion got it as KA did not alter their operation to any great extent. Maybe it was 25%, mostly A scale obviously, but you really need to get your facts straight.
