I hope LEPs do get a housing allowance. I will then expect to receive a lump sum payment for my initial training costs. I will then seek another payment for my experience built over the 5000 hours of flying in 22 different types with 3 different operators.
Most LEPs are too inexperienced, even after 10 years in CX to know just how inexperienced they are.
The only times in CX that I have been seriously concerned for my safety has been when a LEP Capt has been in the cockpit with me.
I am all for an improvement in anyones COS, but LEPs are not the equal of Direct Entry pilots. Never will be.
