Not ranting... just confused as your facts are clearly different to mine....
... on my computer..... Crew Direct<Veta COS< Section 9 Bypass< Section 10 Excess Flying Pay(EFP)
No mention of SO's getting bypass in either section and would copy it if I knew how
Also found down the back of the sofa a hard copy of Veta COS 99 issued in late 99; section 9 Bypass Pay, section 10 EFP... again no mention of SO's...
It would seem there is a difference between the Veta COS and the CX COS and Crew Direct takes you automatically to the applicable COS for the individual concerned? Whilst I can look at USAB and AOBL COSs; I can't view a CX COS.
Am I correct in assuming SOs are employed by CX and not Veta? if so at what stage do you transfer over to Veta?
