Interesting thread gents. As an older B scaler I was told informally at my interview that B scales were an interim measure and would'nt last---6 years later? Reality is, what we signed and what we get is nothing to do with contracts its what the company thinks is appropriate. Could it be that after next years A scale cut that the new scale we be a bench mark for all? Pay is certainly an issue but I think first roster and lifestyle. You all know they hate parting with money. Until then lets keep the A vs B on the backburner. The AOA is fighting on all fronts and need our continued support.
