G'burg,
I think that you missed the point - The QF S/O's transferring to be Short Haul F/O's did not accept "B" Scale, they had it thrust on them after an EBA vote by disgruntled "Australian Airlines" pilots who were still P1SSED 0FF with being absorbed into Qantas. It is still a very sore point that is taking considerable AIPA resources in an effort to correct this anomaly.
