Yup, there were holds of 5-6 years back in the early nineties for folk on some flying courses. Lots of people buggered off and did 3 year, full time degree courses - whilst still on full pay of course. As VR says, I'd request something like that. If not you'll be making tea and doing photocopying for the next 6 years.
