As soon as B scale pilots have a voting block & eventually a majority what's to prevent them from dismantling the A fund for all current recipients? I want no part in a haves/have nots environment in the cockpit
I'm with you, Gun. If this was to happen, eventually the "A-planners" will be in the minority to the "All-Bes". That is when payback, for the "under the bus toss" starts, as it should.
It was once said; "it's better to die on your feet than to live on your knees". I feel as strongly about this as I do about preferential bidding.
Keep the faith,
