....(as did seeing the 44 days/yr holiday for EI pilots!).
I really hate comments like these. Mainly because they're just thrown out there and NEVER checked.
I can ASSURE you I get no-where NEAR 44 days. But just as an aside, can I ask you to count these days:
Days off over Christmas:
Days off over Easter:
Days off for Bank Holidays:
Days off for Mid-Terms:
Days for leave:
Ours looks like this:
Days off over Christmas: 0
Days off over Easter: 0
Days off for Bank Holidays: 0
Days off for Mid-Terms: 0
Days for leave: High 20ies to low 30 (except very senior capts).
Does that sound fair? Does it compare to you? What's that, you actually get the same or more?
Don't even start on the 18 hours a week line either....
