Think a B scale would put people off? Anyone remeber the Pay To Play companies?
"There's a sucker born every minute." As long as there is a percieved looming pilot shortage, suckers will bite. So the question is can EMAU, ATP, etc, hire a marketing company that is able to lure in enough of those suckers.
A regional pilot group that is willing to vote in a B scale to help fill the ranks (oh, and get to that left seat faster) better not b***h when Marvelous Mainline pilots give up more scope for their own higher pay. Its the same d*** thing.
