Career breaks

Hi,
Speaking here as a wannabe, (so please excuse any naivity) I was hoping you could tell me what opportunities, if any, your company allows for career/ lifestyle breaks. How easy would it be to jump on and off the career ladder, returning to the same company after a period of between weeks, months or even years?

I understand the need to maintain currency is perhaps the most important factor here...so what are the options? Bearing in mind, all things working out, I'd still be quite young , perhaps 21-25, how would taking a break affect my seniority etc... To put it in context, I'm thinking in terms of heading off occasionally hardcore backpacking for hopefully months at a time. Is it possible to do this whilst keeping an airline career!!?

Regards,
ShineOn
