A Scalers in 93
Lerxt
One point you forgot to mention: In 93 the pilots (who normally took double digit pay increases every year) were given a choice: either take a modest (single digit pay increase) or new joiners will be employed on a B Scale....guess what the A Scalers took.
So much for thinking no one would join on a B Scale. Also a pitty that the AOA committee (the 49ers) failed to present to the membership the company offer of A Scale command pay.....their statements of 'there was no offer' don't wash. This could have been solved months ago if the committee (the 49ers) could accept that some 49ers will never work at CX again. Do you want me to start posting some of the real resons these guys were chosen? I feel most sorry for the 49ers who were sacked for their MSS abilities, the rest need to be honest about why they made the top of the sacking list.
I only hope that the coming elections bring a change of leadership and committee....the current one is going to destroy the AOA for the sake of few whom I don't want back at work. And we very much need a 'professional' body to represent us (but not a trade union with a waterfront mentality)
