Not exactly. It is working less hours for less money though.

So you get to fly more hours at a reduced pay? That WOULD be a decrease in compensation, offset by making you work more hours.
Not exactly advocating for either of those options, but most people can distinguish between the two. And one would maintain the same hourly wage which - when the hours came back up - would self correct. Either the ALV would be increased or there would be more premium pay. The other wouldn’t necessarily do that.
