What everyone seems to forget, or indeed not know, is that B scales were not invented by A scalers. CX was going to B scales full stop. Pilots had already been shown the new scales as part of the first interview process and all were eager to accept them. What we did was accept a fait accompli for some benefits for ourselves, in return for endorsing the CX position. Once again, if you can be bothered to look back through the AOA files it's all there......
B scalers have no grounds to whine about A scalers or changing of conditions such as age 65, THEY started the rot by accepting lower pay scales and conditions, thus undercutting the ground the AOA of the time was standing on, and indeed sowing the seeds of the AOA weakness we see today...
