We work 10 months of the year.
1 month unpaid 'unavailability' and 10 days 'additional unavailability'.
If you don't want the 10 days extra,it doesn't matter - they are allocated anyway,anywhere throughout the year at there behest.
These 10 extra days of unpaid leave are usually divided into 5 days and 5 days.
Yeah - 5 'on' days.
So basically you finish your 5 days of work and then - 4 days off,5 days leave,4 days off ! 5 days leave is actually 13 days off ( or half the month). Your 5 on 4 off pattern stays the same.
As an FO with more the 1500 on type I take home 3500 euro per month (averaged over 12 months ). It looks ok,but thats it only cash.
No package whatsoever - pension,LOL,sims,hotels at sim,id's,car park,food,health care,staff travel,no additional off day money(your rate stays the same - i don't work them) etc etc etc
