CXKA - did you once, but ONCE, ever consider what your C-Scale would lead to? You didn't. You thought of yourself. Most of or all of your C-Scale colleagues also thought of themselves without regard for what accepting a contract that would have undeniable and now proven affects on the real pilots at CX. (Yes, you read right..) Many as I understand it also vote that same way in AOA polls.
So whilst you thought of yourself, the AOA GC thought of themselves as at the time they ignorantly and pathetically didn't see C-Scale affecting them personally, why not allow those who've felt the brunt of the remuneration package you saw as a "great opportunity" collectively look after themselves? You did. You do. So now may they.
Relax though kid.... Sooner than later they'll be quitting and moving on. If you're lucky maybe to even train you as their cheap replacements! Then when D-Scale comes in you too will be scratching your head and saying "Only C-Scalers get to pay for their own food own board! You D-Scale s.o.b's can bring your own tea bags!!"
But of course, it'll never happen to you.... Maybe you'll be proud of the D-Scale "fresh enthusiasm" they'll bring too?
