"A" Scaler......... Aircrew joining on advertised pay scale
"B" Scaler........ Aircrew joining on much reduced pay scale.
"Freighter" Scale..... Aircrew joining on...... well not much
This really is a no brainer. Lets move
forward.
Before "B" scale there was no "A" scale.
"A" Scale is the name for salaries paid before "B" Scalers showed up. Think about it? Salaries continue downward. Everybody blames everybody else for the reduction in ensuing salaries. STOP. We have an opportunity here that hasn't occurred in living memory.
Move Forward.
Do not dumb down.
Unite forchrissake, Unite. If the negotiation team do not come up with the goodies then Vote NO. If no goodies forthcoming...
STRIKE
If you wont
STRIKE to protect your contract, then cease and desist , do your job, look for another employer.
No one other than
you will protect your contract. The AOA, whatever that is, cannot ensure your future is protected, only
you can.
Endex.
