Just like any other smart and handsome man, I love a good A-scale bashing...those dirty bastards wanting to hang onto CX's devil money..shameful.
However, I dont really understand why they are to blame? They "let" B-scale happen? What were they to do?
B-scale let C-scale happen. C-scale will let D-scale happen, etc.
Everyone let the one-off, completely separate, never to be integrated with CX seniority, ASL scab bastards back on the the list, termination of the FACA, DEC's, DEFOs on bases, the list goes on.
Point is there is a lot of blame to go around. Everyone should look at what happened on their watch and realistically think of what they could have done.
Answer is, nothing. Why? Cause we have a crap AOA representing us. They have been the common failure point in all of the degradation of conditions we have experienced.
So I would nominate any of those Brits, with there notoriously small hands and commensurate testicular orbital diameters, to the GC. That way, it wont hurt as much when they inevitably bend us over at the company's behest.
Give yourself a 1-3% raise and get out of the dysfunctional AOA.
