What you say is interesting and valid, Mr. G. Another apect of this integration and the possibilty of equal pay between CXF and pax, whether it is B-scales or an eventually unified scale, is what happens about the guys who have obtained upgrades on the basis of CXF being a "junior fleet"? All of a sudden they are simply guys who took commands/JFO upgrades out of seniority.
A harmonius New Year to us all.
