Hobbit's right its a two class system.
- The saving class gets a little more
- The saved class give up anything up to 35%
The absolute unfairness of it all is that an ex SR 320 F/O flying say ZRH-GVA is rated as an A or (long hauler) while the ex LX MD80 Captain flying the same leg is rated as a B or (short haul).
The B Captain will get less than the A F/O - and who has the bigger craft, responsibility, whatever ?????
And that is where all the bitching is just starting.
Somebody correct me if I'm anywhere close to wrong.
Dear André got it absolutely wrong on this one - starting afresh he should have started all at 0 seniority and a clean new pay scale (somewhat above Crossair's if he can really afford it) and done his hireing on the basis of old LX and SR seniority.
