Hey, look, I'm not trying to argue with you. It sounds like you're probably technically correct. I just remember that, when I first got here, we definitely referred to the first few years as a B scale and I'm pretty sure the pay rates were much lower in the first few years and then jumped substantially up at some point (maybe 3 to 5 years?) to more "normal" rates. Then I remember everybody being excited (and I'm pretty sure I remember some official communications) when it was announced that we had finally eliminated this "B Scale." But that was like 13 years ago and the alzheimers is kicking in now ;)... or maybe I just dreamed the whole thing up! :rolleyes:

I'm going to have to go back and look again. The B-scale elimination was one of the major selling points of Contract 1990.

Edit: B-scale was reduced to 3 years in C90. It was eliminated in C2K. My apologies for the error.

This does support Sailingfun's argument that there has been a lot of money thrown at what can only be considered junior and profession issues. Eliminating the B-scale didn't help senior guys one bit. Raising entry level pay and modifying probation didn't help senior guys. Targeted DC didn't help senior guys. Yet these same senior guys (many no longer here) get lambasted.

Youre right. In a couple of years they'll look back and remember that we didn't win a single one... WE WON 14!!!!!!
