Default Captain pay scale

Does your regional 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?

Thanks

Most contracts work like this. In your example (at 5 years of service) you would receive $75.77 per flight hour.

Years:
0 to 1= $ XX.XX
1 to 2= $ XX.XX
2 to 3= $ XX.XX
3 to 4= $ XX.XX
4 to 5= $ XX.XX
5 to 6= $ 75.77

I'm not aware of any carrier that resets for upgrade, it is traditionally always your total longevity date that determines where you 'slide into' the payscale when you upgrade. So an 8yr FO that upgrades would then be an 8yr CA immediately upon upgrading.

Eagle is in the middle of a pay banding based on seniority over what airframe you fly, but you pay step is based on your total longevity.

Westjet is at least one Canadian carrier does this....as that's one I would like to fly for in the future. Not sure if that's the norm in Canada though.

9E management wanted it initially but it was eventually taken off the table
