“If there is a slowdown in flying”
Unlikely if you are on COS 18. You will be cheaper to employ than any other pilot in the company. Therefore those in the future employed on COS18 contracts will be guaranteed high hours as they are such a big saving over Standard Contract and B scale FO’s.
Once there is a sizable number of COS18 pilots, the incumbent crews will see their hours ring fenced below
any overtime threashold or even to keep them under the higher HDP rates.
Fine by me , please come all yee COS 18 wannabes, the grass is greener here
