Current B scale captains who will move onto the A scale will get a raise of approx. 40%. The only benefits that may change is taxable housing assistance, and that the AOA may wilt and die. This will be the major bonus for the company which will compensate for the increase salaries. A suggestion would be to increase all salaries, (F/O, S/O) to a number somewhere in between A and B scales. This would make a greater number of people happier.
