Calm down old boy! One of the most important Performance Indicators is "Leave Lost" (untaken excess leave which is lost due to refusal of an application, or no application being made, to carry over). This is actually shown to your JPA Line Manager as an "average days per year" figure on your leave record. I presume it is there to "encourage" him/her in fulfilling his/her responsibility, as your manager, to try to ensure that you can take your leave. Not a full answer, I admit, and of little use if you spend two-thirds of the year on ops, but it is there!
