The new scale isn’t a pay cut. It’s a pay limit. The pay is identical to the ‘ordinary’ scale all the way to year 19 at which point, annual increments stop. The reality being, by year 19, the vast majority of people will have had the opportunity to bid out of that scale onto a long haul fleet and the ordinary scale. This assumes continued growth and expansion, of course. Being a ‘short-haul’ captain places latitudinal and longitudinal restrictions on the duties you can be assigned and has, thus far, only served to reduce the flexibility of the pilot body to the airline.
