As the first poster almost said, whatthehellwasthat, just about sums up this whole episode.
It turns out now to be one week for each pilot at each of the two bases in question. Taken together with the four days off in nine, it amounts to 13 days off some time between now and April of next year.
As for Poose who suggests the pilots just turn up for work and demand a flight; do you have any idea how an airline actually operates?
The contract might well have been written by shysters for the benefit of rogues and signed by people desperate to pay the bills but I don't see several hundred redundancies, as there have been in other, less profitable airlines.
Enjoy the two weeks holiday. Jump on a Ryanair flight to the sun or the snow somewhere.
