I don't really care what you call it as it doesn't matter a toss. It is $24,000 over AND above your pay. As an expat they call it "Housing", as a local they call it "special allowance". whoop de doo dah day.
Whatever buddy...............
I'll repeat what I said before but this time use bigger font just for you
it's supply and demand that drive the package expats are offered, nothing else. If Cx could fulfill all of their Pilot requirements with 100% locals I would not have been offered my job.............Who knows? in 10 years they might just be able to.............nah.
All of your arguments about expats thinking they are better than locals or that locals are just as deserving as expats are nice but don't mean diddly squat really.
