Hi Man Friday,
Our accommodation offer of a caravan at Exeter Airport was for a bird controller on a temporary 4 month contract at about £10,500 p.a. Therefore our offer of a free caravan (which we bought for him) was not only fair but generous and appropriate.
£5,000+ for the Gibraltar contract for accommodation allowance is the going rate for a fine house in Spain. As is mentioned elsewhere, if you want to live in Gib, pay the extra. Its your choice !!
By the way, we have had plenty of CVs for the ATCO jobs so it is obviously a popular place to work.
