HK$100,000 (i.e. about US$12,500) per MONTH is a very big housing allowance by any standard.
As someone who lives in HK, I find it ludicrous that pilots are getting this much in housing allowance. Thats more than the entire salary of many of my top managers - who then have to live as well as find housing for those amounts. Other than bankers, most people in HK live on salaries well under these levels and just adjust their living accordingly - basically live in a smaller flat! It's a choice for those of us have to figure out.
