The blended scale that will be adopted has its issues but it is what it is, new emoyees dont have to sign it if they dont want the job.
I'm sorry but the same could also be said when you were given the Air Nelson contract, no one forced you to sign along the dotted line.
I just hope you realize that you are punishing yourselves just as much as the new hires with the blended/ B scale pay when you get directed into an ATR (maybe even with a forced base move) flying the exact same aircraft, routes and TODs as current Cook pilots but for significantly less money until the company has gotten rid of 16-18 Qs. Food for thought
