Che - as I said, if you have been there for a few years and with the increased housing allowance your house will be covered. One 10% increase and even you will be paying out of pocket. For the new guy just joining it will be difficult WHICH is why I suggested he actually look around. If he can find something suitable - great. If not then at least he and his family can make an informed decision.
By the way - not dogging EK at all. Happy as hell I made the move and would never look back. But then again I never hid behind a handle on pprune.
Sal-e - hmmmmm..OK I see. If you leave you're a bitch. That kind of logic will get you a long way.
