To all those who oppose LEPs receiving housing...
To all those who oppose LEPs receiving expat benefits after a set amount of time (ie 5 years, 10 years etc - something that pays back their training costs, offsets their extended time at higher pay increments, etc), consider this:
The international cadet program is already in full swing. The current B scale (expat) pilots are rapidly becoming the new A scale pilots. And we all have seen the steady decline of the old A Scale package.
We would be foolish not fight for a common pay scale (as in total remuneration costs ie. housing+education+salary) for the entire pilot group. History has already shown that lower pay scales are rarely, if ever, brought up to the higher pay scale. Rather, it is usually the higher pay scale that is brought down to the lower pay scale.
Food for thought...
