They have backed down a bit which is on the right road, but it still doesn't help me for the leave that I need! When I try and do something about it I bet the response will be 'aviation get used to it' which I have actually been told before! I know we work in an unpredictable environment, but why should I sacrifice my personal life for the sake of work!! Plus the new rules don't help people with kids and summer holidays to fill! I don't see how GB Airways acquisition really affects it, all they need to do is limit the number of staff taking leave on each day which is what they did before.
