Age 65 effective immediately (or perhaps Jan 1st, 2008).
For folks like myself, who've been with CX for less than seven years, this will creat significant delays in regards to career progression. I believe a 3.5 year delay is a best case scenerio, longer if cyclical slow-downs or other unforeseable events occur.
By-pass pay will be paid as per COS 99. This fact will help relieve some of the pain. However, I'm not sure which pain is worse, the loss of income or dealing with the Cathay training system as an FO for 11+ years. But I digress...
By-pass pay... Great. But listen up folks, there's a great big gotcha. If you are on a base or go onto a base, you'll be forced to work under COS 08.
Any guess as to how much by-pass pay there is in COS 08? Anyone?
Exactly...
