Yeah, not sure why anyone would take UNPAID leave... Unless you REALLY want to do something that requires a month off.
The company drew back flying in this time period, it isn't our problem to fix it for them.

There's always people in the middle of a house renovation, people trying to go spend a month in Asia, or people needing to move their elderly parents out of their home and get it ready to sell. People want the time off

It's a win win for company and employee. No one is fixing the company's problem.

Are you really "spending $2000 a month" when you are also getting paid? It is not a break even situation. Even by "saving" $2000 a month on hotels, you are still making far more than you are spending. Taking the month off is a massive net loss.

This “me versus the company” attitude is just tiresome and beyond childish.

Time also has an intrinsic value that varies from person to person. When I first started and was commuting I was dropping to the absolute min I could every month because it wasn’t worth my time to go to work. Granted the hourly rate was a bit lower then. If they had put any monetary incentive on it greater than zero I would have signed right up.

Again it just comes down to what motivates a person to take the time off. My buddy took the whole summer off unpaid from his carrier to go fly for a lodge in Alaska. ******* off to the bush for a few months to fly a beaver on floats, all while getting to keep the airline seniority number when you come back. I'd do that in a heartbeat if I could.
