Thank you AOA.
I've decided two things today.
One I will not be doing my trip on the 22nd, effectively giving me all of the holiday period off.
Two I am leaving the AOA, and giving myself a raise.
This will hurt CX twice, in both preventing the company abuse of AOA to affect me, thus weakening their grasp, and by having to crew a Captain's slot during a busy period.
I suggest you do the same.
With the handcuffs off, the game becomes much fairer. I've just got 6 more full weeks of leave, I never fully took up, as well as a small pay raise.
What did you get? Zip.
