Ibanez, No the point is you will still get 20 days leave butyou wont be able to choose when you take them. You will be able to choose when you take 15 of them the rest 5 plus 8 in lieu of bank holidays will be used in the 4 off part of your roster. Also the company can change you every 3 months from 5/4 back to 5/3 so you wont know if the days you have selected for annual leave form a continuous period of time off or not. You will also loose some of the days off to attend the sim/safety days etc. You will no longer have a stable roster that the company trumpets so loudly and it will be pure luck if you manage to organize a holiday that fits with planned leave.
