Five Green said 'They are both collecting what every other pilot gets.'
The four hundred Locally Employed Pilots at Cathay Pacific Airways on a Hong Kong Base receive $0 Housing Allowance.
So what you said is not true.
The Locally Employed pilots do exactly the same job as the Expat Pliots, so they are working to pay the Housing Allowance of Expat Pilots.
To complain about paying tax on housing, or not being able to fiddle the system when the rules are clear is a bit rich if you ask me.
