From a totally outside perspective - and yes prepared to be flameed - KA seems to have trouble in retaining pilots. A couple of years ago it seemed like a good deal but the hours you guys work combined with the autocratic culture seems to have a detrimental effect.
Thus I hear annecdotally of people leaving for other carriers, ie UK guys coming back to Lo-Co's.
By the way, standing on the other side (wrt housing prices) you can't blame the company for external factors such as the housing market variances.
