would have been nice to have seen a clear policy on "no more extensions"!
i really struggle with having to give up salary whilst extensions (that are obviously not needed) remain!
Then you are not understanding Trebor.
They don't want unpaid leave because they have too many pilots. If anything, they are understaff. They just want to reduce they're costs. This is a paycut, not leave without pay. This will most likely be implemented the way that they say. So if your pay grade, say level C, is required to take 3 weeks unpaid leave, they will deduct it over six months, and will most likely be split over six months. So every months you will get 5 days off marked as UPL in your roster, but not necessarily all at once and consecutively.
It is a pay cut son, Cathay is understaffed as it is.
