The new 'c' scale affects ALL NEW PILOTS joining Monarch. Once an individual signs the contract then he or she will remain on it throughout their career. There is also, I believe, a 2yr bond plus an incremental scale where year ten equates to the former starting salary for the 'a' scale and similarly once a command is achieved the highest increment is the starting salary for a junior captain on the old contract.
Would advise anyone to think very carefully before submitting an application.
