Same job/same pay/same conditions is a myth.
Pilot's wages have been dropping over the passed 20 years and typically most legacy airlines have differing payscales dependent on DOJ. In my home country, BA perhaps is one of the most marked. Just one example...the fortunes, or lack thereof, of the BA pension scheme will provide a marked difference between the earnings of senior and junior pilots.
Indeed, in the UK many employees, including civil servants such as police and teachers, receive a "London weighting" which is an allowance to entice them to work in London.
I agree, one wrong does not right another wrong. I also believe that just because you can't right all wrongs, doesn't mean you should not try and right but one. Please re-read my post; what makes this inequity, in a swamp of inequities, the most important?
Finally, a question for you.... did you raise your same job/same conditions mantra at your interview? If not, why not?
Crewsunite..... I agree, lets all unite to get me A-scales.... happy?
