Working durint DL ATPL

Hey,
this summer im hoping to start distance learning ATPL, I think with Bristol.gs. Now, im just wondering what experience you may have had. Having investigated the courses further, it is apparent that two three week periods of absense from work will be necessary.

Now im thinking about getting a job once I finish my degree (my namesake only pays a 5 pounds per hour!), but Im wondering what reactions employers will have when i say i need the time off. Most places give four weeks holidays, but im willing to have two weeks unpaid leave.

I know my current employer do allow this, since I would have been there for three years, but im really wanting a position in aviation for the year when i do my ATPL.

What have your experiences been?
