On the beach
Some non-NATS units (yes, there are some around the world) give you 58 days leave a year.
That sounds like SERCO Middle east. With their system the law of diminishing returns sets in if you take more than one work cycle off. You only earn your full days off after a work cycle if you have worked the full preceeding cycle and, thus, on any subsequent cycle what would normally have counted as off days are actually included as leave days taken!. Very few expats are able to avail of taking a work cycle off at a time as, I'm sure you know, SERCO like you to take big chunks of leave at a time which, of course suits most of the expats.
With the NATS system you can take a work cycle at a time and maximise leave to far better advantage.
The NATS system is better. It enabled me to live in France in the winter months and commute from Geneva to EGTT.
