Let's just make this crystal clear. For anyone other than a ryr employee, so the vast majority of the workforce, ANY leave is unpaid.
The month off is allocated, occasionally it will coincide with a month that is convenient / requested. Often not. Ad hoc leave is hard to get, dependant on base and especially now as they're very short for the summer.
Lots of guys leaving, BA, TOM, J2, desert & China. A real mix of guys going too, from captains who have been in the company years and are in their base of choice on a decent contract to cadets who have got a few hours and have found something better.
