One of the main requests to the pilots is to bring in a B-scale pay for new recruits. This would create huge savings apparently. Current pilots are reassured this won’t affect current pilot pay, “so nothing to lose, much to gain”. This is offensive to current pilots. This assumes current pilots are selfish, greedy and narcissistic. The problem is, even if they were all narcissistic and willing to throw the next generation of pilots under the bus, current pilots are well aware that letting in a B-scale brings huge risks for themselves. Look what happened at Cathay.
They say that if a B-scale isn’t approved for future pilots, they will have to find savings elsewhere. Why not limit pay for future CEOs? Im not saying reduce the current CEOs pay from 24mil but maybe cap the next CEOs pay to say 10mil a year. This would be inline with industry average, create a large saving, not impact current CEO pay and close lots of gaps all over the business.
Quite right.
One thing though both KA first and then CX later had B scale
imposed upon them, no input from the existing pilot group. It was unbelievably divisive which the company gladly promoted. Next of course comes C scale.
