because of the conditions I LET happen to him (aka A Scalers)
If you are B scale, quite simply -
you let it happen to

If no pilots took the job on a B scale salary, there would have been no B scale, it's that simple.
This topic has been done to death in the past, and is hardly relevant to the gradually increasing HDP wedge that is one of many unwanted insertions we have been on the receiving end of.
Basic salary increases should be insisted on, and HDP left to wither on the vine.
