FOs are capped at their current pay scale if it is year 4 or later (if they bypass upgrade in their domicile). So (for example) if the FO is DFW based and on 7th year pay and bypasses a DFW upgrade, they'll stay there.
Remember, any FO bypassing upgrade right now is already on step 8 pay - that's topped out FO pay anyway.
