Wrong ! ! !

"It is very sad, yet it is true but just as the Astar group, every pilot group since 1980's have down graded our profession..."


The Astar pilot group DID NOT agree to a B-Scale substandard pay rate for widebody flying. The matter never even made it to the pilots to vote on because the decision was made, and rightly so, by the MEC. Therefore no "down grade of our profession" on our part.

I have to agree with you on the lack of over all unity in our profession. The only thing that might correct that is if there was a Master Seniority List (what a can of worms that would be) and true pattern bargaining like the UAW does it.
