We did introduce a 737 C-scale to compete with the wage rates at SWA in POS96, but that was for a fleet of 54 aircraft based in MCO.
Are you sure about that? I'm almost positive I remember us getting rid of the B-scale after I got here (C2K maybe?). Maybe it wasn't 5 years, but unless I just misunderstood it or don't remember it correctly, I'm pretty sure 2nd year pay was B-scale and there was a huge jump in pay somewhere in the 3, 4, or 5 year time frame? I'm almost certain we called it B-scale. And, no, I'm not talking about Sunshine.
