what about leave?
On a similar note...
...joining the airbus fleet at LHR at the end of Jan. I have a family wedding in May in the states and was wondering if i'll be able to book some leave at that time? How does the leave bidding system work and have i missed the the bidding for May next year? If its anything like the airline im leaving then i would have a chance so long as i give 10 weeks notice - but having no clue about the bidline system and how it works i would guess that im way off the mark!
I suppose from what ive read above i could at least get a couple of days off with the "ask the schedulers", "swap trips" or "ask management" methods.
Thanks.
