I've met pilots who have taken leave for military as well as personal and family health issues, but what about educational or philanthropic stuff? Say, a month for some volunteer trip, or three months for an educational program? In the contract it says that this is at the discretion of the company, but have you ever heard of anyone doing it? I'm interested in three months unpaid leave for an educational thing, and don't want to quit my job. Believe it or not, I like it here!
