Childlabour (and all the other CEP's). It is not that we don't support you, we completely support your right to a fair and equitable contract. It's just the philisophical difference of opinion regarding Housing Allowance. It does not seem reasonable that local born and bred pilots should expect an allowance for something that is necessary for expats (because they would have to be paying for and maintaining a house in their home countries). I don't think this is a difficult concept to understand. In addition, if the HK locals got housing, then why shouldn't the based pilots receive housing? I think a better approach would be to ask for an improvement to pay and other benefits. That is something that we can all support.
