Interesting times indeed. BA will probably like the new legislation because it will be less of a burden on their pension scheme. Something which is affecting many similar schemes. Some of them are in dire straights.

Make no mistake. BA, or any other airline, cannot opt out or decide one way or another. Not yet anyway. The EU are determined that this legislation will become effective in 2006. However, there are provisions, "in exceptional circumstances" where a new retirement age can be agreed. We will have to wait until the middle of next year to see what this means.
