i read the thread. I don't work for netjets but for an another airline where they are really happy to pay you to work on days off.
I am not bother about this...it just gives me the choice and it means that the business is good. Instead I would be quite worried if, as a friend of mine, I would be asked to take unpaid leave.
Most airline are short of pilots at the moment and if you read the CV that come in ...well there is not such a great choice for candidates!!
I am just happy to be where there is a shortage rather then where there is a surplus!
