Management - Honest Answers Please!!
There is now a rumour going round that there were a few DECs offered higher starting slaries, they have now been called by recruitment to say that the starting basic will be as the website states. The rumour buster announcement is therefore not incorrect and also makes the statements made by senior managers (that the DECs are starting on a Captain's year 1 basic salary) also technically correct.
But the DECs are still coming, which says, at least to me, that they were offered something else as well in addition to the original starting basic offered, otherwise why would they come? A 'confidentiality clause' is also rumoured to have been signed by the DECs.
Regardless of the real truth, questions need to be asked and answered honestly. Has anyone actually been to see TCAS and asked about this directly?
