Office Worker Holidays.

If 30 days leave is the minimum accorded by the Labour Law and since this year there are 13 Statutory Holidays for a total of 43 days - then the 42 days of contractual leave we are NOT getting is looking even worse compared to the Office Workers, or am I calculating this wrong/missing something obvious?

The Cabin Crew, who only get 30 days and NO statutory holidays have been really losing out on the deal since forever.

So, if an office worker gets 30 days a year, that's once every two month they can take 5 days leave, (sandwiched between the weekends), for a total of 9 days off. Every two months! Plus another (almost) 2 weeks of statutory holidays... All without the attendant tiredness of constantly rolling shift work, time zone changes and east/west adjustments.

Good thing we can now bid for 5 days off in a row.
