Are there any airlines that do NOT do this? I know at Cathay, once you upgrade, you go back to 1st yr Captain pay. Would this mean that if you delayed your upgrade, you would be back to crap schedules as the most junior captain?
I believe virgin america starts everyone over at year 1 CA pay whenever they upgrade, so it would be more advantageous to upgrade ASAP so you can get started working your way up the CA payscale.
