Agreed the numberous different CoS around depending on when & where you joined the company is a big issue - in fact one deserving it's own thread.
Back to the 400 SO's getting shafted... the 400 SO's are no longer being offered courses on the 330 (unless you ask for it), and are being delayed because of the backlog in training on the 777 fleet. Meanwhile Airbus SO's are uprading on the 330 without delays, and Airbus FO's are being dragged across to the 400 fleet to fill FO vacancies there. How about offering 400 SO's an upgrade onto the 400?!? It would be a short course, saving the company money, and then they wouldn't have to drag Airbus FO's, kicking and screaming, who would require a full course.
Maybe that would be too logical...
