Guess what, pipesqueak, it wasn't done by YOUR co-workers either. It was ICAO and the Congress. Go weep to them and see if they give a shiite.

Sorry, Sonny Boy, but that is what they call a condition of employment. Accept it or quit. Pretty simple.

In the '90s the B-scale was the condition of employment. You could cry and moan all you wanted, but it was a fact of life. Accept it or pound sand. There are plenty of pilots who will gladly take your seniority number.

Sorry your upgrade was delayed. Sorry you aren't making enough money. Especially sorry you picked this profession.

Enjoy your chicken.
