Great summary!
...but you're wrong!
I am an A scaler (or used to be at least, when I got paid more than 60% more than a B scaler) and there is NOTHING in the emailed proposal for me!!!
All the pay rises are to the B scalers - all the A scalers get is the right (obligation) to fly the freighter on freighter RPs. Thats it - no pay rise.
I can count very few fellow A scalers who will work beyond 55 ( Im thinking less than 10) May be some more will do a one year extension, but thats it.
This should be a pay rise for everyone! And regardless what you think about the A scale, remmeber that the higher it is, the higher the B scale will go. Whatever has happened to the A scale (ie no pay rise since 94) will eventually happen to the B scale when it is the highest pay scale in CX.
This is a bad proposal, but NOT because it is (supposedly) good for A scalers!
