16/12 etc
Greetings..I think the 16/12 is a good idea, it is same amount of work as 8/6 and gives employees the chance to go home under their own steam. It also could assist the fact that the salary is nothing to get excited about, the lifestyle of say 16/12 would compensate and crew could pay for a hotel on HK layovers.
It is not so unusual; Korean and Asiana have given 12 days off a month for years and still have a productive ex-pat workforce. They also pay a lot but they need too!
