APS MCC is 3 weeks long? In the UK how would it be even possible to have 3 weeks off work, have other people took unpaid leave? - not sure how approval would work. I have a very good job and want to maintain that job without resigning/having gaps in my CV until I secure a flying job
Many thanks
Got any kids? Parental leave. Otherwise it’ll just be a case of leave or unpaid leave. Just has to be, or the dates don’t work. If anything a three week MCC is the most predictable.
My worry is limiting yourself to just the weekends to fly, that could take years unless you hit the jackpot weather wise. Working and flying is fine, but usually that entails at least some flexibility around working. Can you compress to a 9 day fortnight? If so then instantly that’s 25% more time to fly.
