A few years ago ,QF Long Haul F/Os accepted B Scale wages as a means of infiltrating the short haul 737 operation.
Gn...burg, from your post on the Virgin pilots stop crying which has subsequently been locked
I think you will find that in fact the B scale was voted in by the existing domestic pilots i.e. ex Australian Airlines pilots. The long haulers flying domestic had little to do with it as they were far outnumbered by ex Australian Airlines pilots.
Incidentally, all the FO who were on the 737 at the time from long haul were mightily pissed off then and still are now, as it was a classic B scale i.e. 2 lads doing the same job but on different rates of pay. Of course that has almost come to an end I believe as all the ex Australian FO's have just about got commands (I know of only 1 that hasn't but there may be more)........but the reduced rate of pay still exists for FO's.
Of course it is nothing like the crap they pay at DJ........(toe gingerley touches water)
