bartholomewrose,
I like your thinking, 25 year housing is definately a win-win for all and certainly relevant for all pilots, and certainly for you. Just a little bit of pork-barrelling but I think as we include a housing allowance for LEP's we should add one for based pilots. Why not, everyone has housing costs, right? I am certain the based pilots would put their rosters at risk by going the CC route to improve your housing.
You obviously weren't here for the last stouch when bad rosters became unbearable when the company invented O days, NB, SB and rostered a trip the day before and the day after any leave.
