Hi guys - pardon my ignorance on the subject but what will this mean for DESO's who are hired in the months to come?
a) Will this proposed new DEFO payscale at all effect the salary of a soon-to-be-hired DESO at some point down the road or will the salary structure remain the same? Does this new "C-Scale" apply to DESO's hired after 2007?
b) On the subject of taking a basing at some point in the future - is it realistic to say that ALL available slots at non-HK basings might possibly be filled by DEFO's therefore making it impossible for a current FO or SO (after upgrade) to take a basing if he so desired?
In other words: I was recently found to be successful after my final DESO interview in HK and am awaiting the official offer of employment. I am told that the offer will come within the next few months and I should expect to be scheduled for a start date in early 2007 - Does this mean I will end up getting screwed if this new CoS 07 proposal goes through?
