I think the reality of leave with the Middle East carriers is such that… while they advert 42 days at all their road shows, they generally only offer the legal minimum required (30 in EK's case) and then give you little groups of 4 days off here and there to round out the 42, which for most of us is a complete waste because it certainly won't leave enough time for any meaningful, restful vacation, even to Europe!!
