Degradation of my trade

Dear sir, on my recruitment in Indian Air Force in 1972, I was alloted Safely Equipment Worker trade and I continued in the same trade till my discharge in 1987. We the SEW traders are fortunate to work on all the aircrafts, being group Y and the only trade which is not having conversion to group X,works on aircraft. In those days there were four to five groups. During amalgamation to X and Y groups all the lower groups promoted to Y and got benefitted except SEW. Before and after amalgamation we remained in Y group. Now the trade abolished the work of SEW alloted to the Weapon Fitter which is a X group. With the above foregoing facts I feel my trades position is not justified properly. Since 1987 I am of opinion but couldn't come out for justice. Please advise if the issue is worthy. Regards

What were you doing for almost four decades on this and why this sudden awakening?
Do you think that you can challenge the government's policy decision.
If I am right there was no X Y or any group in Air Force classified by alphabets in the year 1987..
The trades were known as group I, II, III, IV,so it appears that you are just passing your time by posting such hypothetical questions here.

I am sorry to say you are mistaken me sir, I have no idea of challenging the Government. No guts not knowledge to do so. Just got inspired by knowing that all the X group traders are forming a separate group to fight for their rights. You are right sir there were 1,2,3,4 and so on trades, recently X,Y groups came into existence. I just edited my feelings to lessen my burden. I am thankful to you sir for correcting me.

You will have to appreciate the fact that in First to Third Central Pay Commission (1956 to 1986) tradesmen in defence services were grouped in A, B, C & D scale.
How are you affected by merger of group Y employees with group X personnel ? Be specific to your personal problem, if any.
