'stuck'? Maybe this is management code for 'we are looking into more ways to save more money'.
Let's see... if they were to allow 50 pilots to 'remote roster'... 50 x 120,000 dits... (or whatever the housing allowance will be next year).
... and if they made it 100 pilots. That's 100 times 120,000 dits. Deduct an average of say five nights in a Dubai hotel per remote based pilot per month at crew rates and those sums still look rather good.
