The senior pilots took $5-6K per month paycuts as the first 70 seaters were coming online. If senior pilots "couldn't care less", why did senior pilots go out on strike in 1985 when the b-scale did not affect them whatsoever? All of those senior guys are gone, but the junior (now senior) guys remember. Besides, scope affects everyone. Can you say Aer Lingus? Be a little jet lifer if you want. But don't expect to be able to stand up in your cabin anytime soon. Mark my words.
