Yes, they won't house pilots in the same buildings as F/A's. The company provided accomdation to pilots when i looked either wasn't available (ie they didn't have any vacant) or wasn't adequate at all for a married guy. You were basically stuck getting your own place. I've heard that they have some 1/2 decent places now, though i haven't seen them.
