B-scaler,yours are the most measured,accurate & sensible posts in all of the Fragrant Harbour.We thank you.
I woke up this morning hoping the nightmare wasn't reality.Well,it is. The AOA has negotiated;-
-a 30% payrise for post 55 A-scalers
-what amounts to a few extra annual increments for B-scale captains
-a paycut for everyone else who's promotion prospects are affected,the irony being that the more junior you are the worse your promotion prospects are affected by extending the retirement age.
Those who have got the most will get even more.Those that have the least will get even less.
I am trying to get my inferior B-scale brain around all of this but it is just not big enough.Can someone do it for me?
