There will be some B7ER FOs getting paid A320 Capt pay this summer (and probably getting G/S pay at the A320 Capt rate to fly B7ER trips).
Not everyone in positions of authority will know what you're talking about.
Recently had to deal with this myself. This past april.
My training scheduler confirmed that a junior person was converted on the same AE.
Had to call the HR and payroll departments to make sure my pay was going to reflect the pay protection.
They ended up cutting me a manual check because the system did not catch it automatically. If not, I would of have to wait another 4 weeks to get paid correctly.
My point is be proactive and make sure they get it right before hand. Call as many people as it takes. It took me 4 departments to get it right.
