Back before about 1971 there were two pay scales for officers. Your General List man as a flt lt had just 6 increments before he pay stagnated whereas the Supplementary List man had 16 or more every year to age 38 (and out).
With the advent of the Single List the AFPRB recommended doing away with the 16 increments and stagnating flt lt pay after just 6 as they expected flt lt to be picked up to sqn ldr after 5 increments. This was great fror us with TOS to 38/16 as at a stroke we all moved to top flt lt increments if we had done more than 6 years.
I believe similarly sqn ldr and wg cdr increments were also reigned in and flying pay for wg cdr was cut after the 2nd tour point and the same for gp capt.
What you appear to be saying is that the full career increments for Mong should be made, or are you suspecting it will just freeze?
