It also reduces your priority for leave within your 1/3 group, though how much effect that has is difficult to guage.
did I also hear that new hires are on a reduced salary, even if you're rated?
Is that the 2nd officer salary up to 500hrs that cadets are put on after their AFA/line training contract comes to an end? I saw it labelled as "up to 500 RYR hours" so quite possibly all new FOs are on it up till 500hrs in the company.
