Xaxa, that's the point nobody knows what's the policy.
This is what flight deck crews have received :
Those interested in Company provided accommodation are requested to submit fresh applications for the same to enable us to reassess the requirement and allocate suitably.
Preference would be based on seniority in the airline.
Some of us interested did apply. Since then couple of choices were available rather of mediocre standards. Bottom line is, as you're very well aware of virtually a war going on between tenants and the greedy landlords there's no guaranty all cases will be won. As you're also very well aware QR doesn't pay adequate housing allowances so one either accepts the fact of paying out of own pocket or tries to defend what's right hoping at the same time for a back up from the company in form of providing suitable accommodation in case needed.
Here comes the interesting part: new company accommodation can't be availed to the senior staff like mentioned in the aforesaid crew notice. Why? Apparently due to CEO's instruction which no one of us ever saw.
Quite a dilemma, don't you think?
The point is: even if there was such an instruction it's welfare's manager job to draw CEO's attention to the existing problems which they don't.
You tell me please how am I supposed to get adequate rest in a tiny two bed room apartment having a small child e.g going for a night flight?
Whereas at the same time single guys do get two story three bed one being new joiners.
Maybe I'm stupid and don't understand something.
Don't take it personally take it on the rocks!!!
