For him as a Chief pilot he would have been at CX for a while, therefore he would most likely have been on the old A-scale contract with a housing allowance + other benefits... for you you would be on the "c-scale" which is a whole different game...
CB: Sorry if this has been bought up before: Do you mind me asking what you do now after you rejected the new contract? Judging by what you post you are now in a far better position than if you took the new CX contract, the holiday home you were talking about a few pages back sounds rather nice!
