The SFO's that get promoted will be on 78% of the Captains salary - a significant payrise, NOT a cut
In other words, the SFOs' who are promoted receive a 22% reduction in pay when compared to every other commander in the company.
It's a paycut. And a permanent one. I can see why you may think it is a rise if you are already in the LHS at ezy, but from the RHS, the view is a bit different.
