This pandemic is a one-off crisis. If it means that leave has to be taken during lockdown so all hands are on deck for a recovery I really don’t see that as a bad thing.
30% of the worlds pilots currently staring down the barrel of unemployment would probably love to be complaining about annual leave. I am of course sympathetic to this scenario in a ‘normal’ year, but these are not normal times. We might just have to give that bit extra this year to help keep our colleagues in jobs, and recover some growth.
