Not so long ago some very senior pilots were told that their villas were too expensive, with the same options...
1. Stay and pay the difference
2. Move into other company accommodation
3. Take the allowance and move out.
One of the affected told them he was not moving at all.
When challenged by the cucumber brigade he advised that he would not incure any expense from one of their options offered, as each one would.
He also told them that any difference in the rent that they reckon is above their allocation estimates per year could be saved by him in one flight alone. (Not sure of the formula there)
Conversly he could match the same rent difference per annum on every flight he operated, and would.
That was the sealing argument. He stayed.
