Happy landings
RYR offer you three month options for your annual leave.
In regards to ad hoc leave, this is achieved through the online leave system through the crew dock portal.
All good in theory?
In practice, I was there for three years. Never had one of my choices for a month off approved.
I requested 23 separate ad hoc days during my time there. Only 3 days were approved!
Personally for me the leave system is a joke. Don't get me started with having a mandatory month off!! Following one month off I was told that I would have another month off two months later. You do not get paid on your months off as a contractor.
Hope this helps
