A little history on the pensions.
1983ish, APS shut to new staff, the best pension plan. NAPS for new staff.
2003ish, NAPS shut to new staff, a good Pension plan. BARP for new staff.
BARP is the poor relation.
2007, APS and NAPS watered down to save money, BARP got a slight improvement I think may be, at this time Flying staff got a 17.55/19%increase to pay for pen purposes because their unions done a great job, think BALPA made the play and the CC unions took the same offer.
So now various staff on various pension deals, all pulling in different directions for their own ends, this will cause more and more trouble as time passes by, will only be sorted when APS and NAPS shut and all staff placed into BARP, however when this occours, BARP staff will want all new members of BARP to be given a lesser deal, may be BARP2, because this is how BARP staff have been treated till now ???
