I think it is difficult for anyone to support a vote for an extension which by all accounts is a significant advantage to only a few. As a B scaler, I can never achieve the post 55 contract the A scalers can. Their initial contract was to 55, after that surely it should be something attainable by all, particularly in the light of our colleagues accepting extensions on the freighter scale.
I suspect there is a limited pot of money available for salaries and for it to be dished out to A scale extendies at the expense of bringing the B scale up to parity is surley difficult for the majority (of pilots not necessarily AOA members!) to accept and I think inequitable to say the least.
I support the right of people to extend but NOT at the expense of others and at a payscale that is not achievable by all.
Apart from that the rest of the deal is crap. It remains in my interest to delay the onset of the RA65 for as long as possible.
