Well, I am a little in the dark based on the dynamic situation with COS '08. I was originally hired for a DEFO Freighter position.
From what I have inferred, it is still a freighter position as long as the company is hiring SO's. There are financial repercussions awarded to the SOs if I were to fly as an FO on the passenger fleet !? (Am I reading that correctly?)
I am assuming that under COS '08 I would still be hired as a Freighter FO on a unified scale. It still leaves me with many questions. Namely, the fact that I was planning on being able to swap (in the Freighter) from the US to EU bases and back again in the matter of a few years. Have these prospects been cut short, even between the Freighter bases now?
