What n_n is referring to is a system whereby for strong compassionate reasons you may be "let" off a duty
Yes but Flight Ops have given an asurance to BALPA that they will try and accomodate a request in advance for certain days off and protect you with no credit before the bid opens.
Believ t when I see it though.
Leave
Winter/summer spilt evenly.
We have leave wrap days and duty free weeks.
Wraps are three days and go at the end or beginning of your leave block
so
7 day block +3 wraps
8 day block +3 wraps
or 15 day block +6 wraps
7 days Duty free
in both summer and winter.
Wraps can be lost under certain circumstances and you can work in wraps and DFW if you wish.
Leave you can't.
