So, if you want to decline to work on public holidays, I guess that employers will want to reduce annual leave back to 4 weeks.
normal worker has
52 weekends plus
12 public holidays (or more depending on
the state) plus
4 weeks annual leave
that is 144 days off a year (about 40%)
pilots get 42 days off (about 12%)
i hope you are not a captain if that is the way you
look at data before you, you think we should go from 12% down to 8%. An airline managers dream.
It is easy to see who is getting raped by their employer
