Actually, it is worse than the new scale. The new scale has the based FO pay go to a halfway between current Freighter FO and Pax Based FO for 5th year. So technically, it is a paycut.
The sad thing is that we can do nothing about it. That is what makes it so frustrating. Meanwhile, the AOA is saying how direct entry into the Pax fleet "won't hurt us". I wonder what back door deal they have going on with the 3rd floor.
On the other hand, it does say in COS that you are transfered at the company's discretion. There is nothing you can do or say in this case, except hope that they decide to evaluate those SO's soon. I honestly think that they are holding you back until the new combined FO payscale is implemented. This way you will get much less pay.
Like someone previously said, I guess we should be happy to still have a job...
