is this with or without the 25% reduction?... I know pilots (rejoiners) who received contracts based on yr1 base pay reduced by 25%... so what you say is actually better.
Of the people I spoke to when you say seniority... generally we’re talking staff number here... they couldn’t give a monkeys - if you enter on the 777, it’s unlikely you’re going anywhere else i.e Fleet Transfer (for DEC)... so essentially all the staff number is good for is staff travel. For FOs it’s important for Command Upgrade (if you’re planning on staying that long!).
