Bypass pay to equivalent delayed rank and promotion to bypassed rank. That means that your second year of command bypass should be to CN2, third year to SCN1 etc and then your eventual promotion should be to appropriate rank eg SCN2. Only in this way will there be no financial penalty to CoS99 employees for CX wanting to increase RA.
I agree!! We should not negotiate away bypass pay for what would only be short term financial gain. If a lump sum was to be offered in reparation, it would most likely be for less than the gross amount expected to be paid over a career.
This should be applied to all forms of bypass pay, included the situation where SOs are being promoted out of seniority. There is no fairness in the situation where a less senior officer reaches FO1 first, only due to being allocated the Airbus upon joining, and that he isn't being delayed by waiting for the 777 training system. At least financial equity will help compensate for the loss of career progression.
Standby, a pig just flew by the window. The lack of smog must have brought it out.... No worry, it'll contract lung cancer when the wind swings back, so won't be making any more trips.
