The LEPs are NOT asking the company to get rid of expat allowance, they just want the same allowance. Why are the expats so against this? It doesn't take away anything they have. Are they so afraid to be seen as equals to local?
Has nothing to do with being equal or not! There are fair and realistic demands, then there are unfair and unrealistic demands. Let's have every single based pilot on a housing and educational allowance then, I am all for that, wouldn't that be nice, but is that realistic?? No! Cathay doesn't pay the expat allowances in HKG to discriminate or because they are so generous, they do so purely to keep pilots.
When the day comes and there are no expats left at CX, will you then give up your quest for expat allowances?? Is this merely a jealous outburst of "he gets paid more than me
boohoo..." /??????
