Here is my theory.
I think most of the villas that the pilots are in are still owned by DSO. DSO is owned by Sheihk Ahmed is it not? He is the boss of EK. I don't think he will approve anything that would affect either of his interests.
The decision has been made to remove all EK from cedre villas. This achieves 2 things. Firstly a saving on rental for EK and secondly DSO can now rent out or sell these villas to other people at a higher price. Good for both businesses.
The guys in semmer who think it wont happen there better have a good think about this theory.
