Cathay's Proposed C-Scale
 

Is this new contract to be imposed on pilots hired after January the infamous C-Scale? If so, does anyone know what it entails. I heard a rumor that it would be a common pay scale regardless of Cargo/PAX... in other words the PAX scale would drop somewhat, and cargo scale would go up to meet somewhere in the middle. I don't know any other details though (profit sharing, housing allowance, bonuses). Also, I am unclear if you would forever be locked into the C-scale or if you ever advance to the B- or A-scales. Any thoughts from anyone on this?

The c scale is basically a unified pay scale and you can end up flying I guess pax's or cargo depending on their need. It is a compromise between the pax and cargo scale.

No you never move to the a or b pay scales.

Check out pprune and you can find copies of the new payscales and the old ones to compare.

Ash-

How was your interview? Are you in the pool right now?

Incorrect, the Captain scales were unchanged, so when you upgrade you will be paid a B-scale wage but you will remain on Cos08.
