Eventually captain salaries Will be affected. But EasyJet pilots already voted against a package that would have started a slow erosion of captains T&C's.
The company wanted a reform of loyalty pay for new captains, being based on date of promotion instead of time in company.
This was rejected by a firm majority in the UK despite some other goodies. Captains very much realise that introduction of a B-scale for captains will affect them in the future.
The threat however is in Lisbon, where the company can't find any SFO's who want to accept the appalling T&C's (compared to all the other Easyjet captains around the network) on offer. Which is why the are recruiting DEC into LIS.
Only worldwide economic recovery can stop this rot.
