It's amazing how defensive you A scalers are of you salary, which by the way, you are signed on to receive only till 55.
Boy are you sensitive
ANSWER THIS: Why were 99% of you prepared to extend on basically B scale without the COS perks? You thought the offer was ok and accepted it (without the unions blessing I might add, and a few resigned to do it)
Now you MUST HAVE A scale past 55, as to you it's only fair.
I've suggested ( as have others ) a unified Pay scale after 55, you guys come back to the then current B scale ( todays B scale +15% ) and join the rest of us. And you'd get all the COS perks too.
A MUCH BETTER DEAL THAN YOU ALREADY ACCEPT TO FLY PAST 55.
So what would be wrong with that?
