Mullah Lite,
Just to be clear, and this is an honest question, am I correct in saying that via the definition of housing, you do not agree that CEPs should have dibs, but given any other name, it is acceptable? So this is a matter based upon definition?
I thought I and others were clear with the above question. Do not fixate on the housing allowance because you are essentially indirectly attacking it. If you choose to fight for a higher salary or other benefits to compensate for the gap then by all means, go for it. As I said in the beginning the locals at Emirates get paid a higher salary than the expats, let the same happen here!
