NewEsso,
I hope that you are being sarcastic, but maybe it is a little ignorance. Of course management loves to maintain multiple scales. It accomplishes their jobs for them. Just listen to us on this board!! Everyone sniping each other. If we are going to maintain and improve our conditions, this is the best time for us to do it. The company wants something desperately, and that gives us some leverage. Once this is gone, we really don't have much else to work with. If there aren't significant pay raises to go along with it, then it shouldn't change. They can continue to extend people and hire DEFO, and we will continue to receive bypass pay. End of story. And to your other question, no, most airlines don't have all of these ridiculous scales. Everyone on A scale, the end.
