So, the C scale was born. Move the B scale flying off the property and try to limit it.

American, US Air, United and Delta then got a new phenomenon, the two decade upgrade.

Comair, ASA, SkyWest, Mesa, Chautauqua, Shuttle, Mesaba, ACA, Freedom, GoJets, Compass, Republic and Mid Atlantic got the "junior manned to Captain out of new hire class" phenomenon as their airline's growth exploded to compensate for mainline flying being outsourced.

The B scale was a bad idea, outsourcing is far worse.

In Atlanta I once saw a bumper sticker which read "Why didn't we just pick our own damn cotton?" Not politically correct, but a reasonable question none the less. I hope we decide to end ALPA's Apartied division and I am willing to pick my own cotton.
