Can someone explain this conversion thing to me... If I'm not converted to my new airplane(lower paying category) until next month, why is my paycheck I just got lower already? I'm changing base too, can they really give me the new pay rate and no per diem because I was in training in my old base? Or will I see my pay rate adjusted on my 15th paycheck? Or a ton of per diem? I expected to have the same ol pay check since i haven't changed categories yet even though I finished training.
