For those considering,pay attention to Laker, he speaks the truth. I had in excess of 40 days leave in my bank when I left. One of my reasons for leaving was the inability to get home.
And remember one other point that Laker left out. You get ONLY one Annual Leave Ticket a year. And any leave you do get will be broken up in to 2 or 3 lots, or even more. So you end up trying to get home on sub load tickets, or having to buy tickets.
It sure is not what is advertised.
