I really think these LEP's got lots of BALLS. First of all you get hired at a tender age so you can spend your whole career at CX, without the additional loans and money borrowed from people to get your ratings. If CX decides to give you guys a dime for housing then the AOA better watch out because the rest of us based guys would like the same deal. I must say I agree with the DFO on this issue. You guys do have other gripes but this one is not a good fight. I wish CX paid for my ratings and then pay me to fly a 777 with only 350 hours. Fight another fight but you can't get my support.
Thats my 2 cents.
