Yes I am worried whether the company will survive, but one management pilot leaving BA 18 months before his retirement age to take up a management position does not mean we are going down the tubes. Perhaps it indicates our managers are employable outside BA, as has happened in the past.

Why dont you rejoin BALPA? Why do you hide in the BA only bit of PPRUNE?

You have your A320 command, and have fallen on your feet somewhat. Well done. Others of us havent gone for a command as yet. My point is, the change in legislation may, if all those employed elect to stay until, say, 60, will affect every pilot in BA. There will be an effective FREEZE in place for 5 years.

"Rod Eddington was reported to have said words to the effect that BA will not make a decision until midnight December 31st 2005 otherwise they will be sued by one disgruntled party or another if they act preemptively."..................I thought the date would be DEC 31 2006, not 2005
Unless we voice our concerns, and BALPA polls us for our views, prior to legislation implementation, there will be NO new commands, and very few seat changes.
You acted on the Pensions cap, why not on this?
Come on BALPA, you need to represent ALL your members
