About 6 months I joined a well known loco airline. I have had no problem with any of the conversion/line training etc. Indeed I can honestly say I am enjoying the flying.

However, I have not been able to take any planned leave and it would seem that none will be forthcoming for another 4 months or so. Whilst appreciating that leave has to be taken at a time which is mutually convenient to employee and company I am getting to the stage now where I feel on the edge of long term fatigue and in need of a (well-earned) break.

Has anyone got any observations or advice?

Working Time Directive states min 3 (i think) weeks leave in your leave year.

Depending on which airline you work for, you need to hold your hand up and say i need a break soon. :\
