Latest rumor is no pilot has actually been given apartment in the last 3-4 months as they don't have any available and even single FO's who should only be entitled to a 2 bed apartment are being forced into a villa. How allocation is done is anybody's guess though and even people requesting MH/MS are being given a Jumeirah villa and told to apply via the normal process for internal moves. Also they have apparently stopped "agreed" take over of villas of someone leaving. Plus don't forget that what they show you during the tour is just an example of the accommodation and any "guarantee" you might get is only that they will put the request in but don't expect them to consider it if it doesn't suit them on the day.
