Slapfaan, unpaid leave piece from Tue 2 Dec AOA update follows.
It gives me great pleasure to refute more of your bullsh1t.
Keep the lies coming Moron.
Unpaid Leave
We note with interest that the Company is attempting to weather the current economic storm by offering crew the opportunity to take unpaid leave, as we have, allegedly, a surfeit of pilots. Many of our members are wondering how this can be the case, when they are still unable to take the leave to which they are contractually entitled during 2009. Whilst we understand that individuals may want to make their own personal arrangements, we would suggest that our members explore every avenue towards taking their contractual entitlement to leave prior to applying for unpaid leave.
It is worth noting that individuals who take unpaid leave also have their paid leave entitlement pro-rated; 4 weeks unpaid leave will reduce the paid annual leave entitlement (of an Officer with 42 days leave per year) by 3 days.
