Default Captain pay scale

Does your airline use true seniority (longevity) when determining your pay grade? Or does your company use the date of upgrade to begin said pay scale?
ie: Your true seniority is 5 years and you upgrade at year 3. Does your pay reflect that of a 5 year captain or a 2 year captain?

Or do you know of any company that does this?

Thanks

FedEx uses your total company seniority as a line pilot so in your example the pay would be a 5 year Capt. pay.

How does this work at UPS?

I'm no Rocket Surgeon but I think he is asking about any and all airlines.

Ahh, dang it, I bet that was sarcasm. I forgot about those (which airline) guys.

Most airlines, as well as any semi-reputable company, uses date of hire. It's the crap jobs that pay based on date of upgrade. Instead of rewarding an employee's commitment and loyalty they see you as an expense that has to be minimized.
