There's more to the pension than how much the company puts in compared to your contribution. The performance of the pension provider and their plan is an important consideration. I was far from impressed to find out how much my Virgin plan from Scotish Equitable was worth. Who is the provider of the BA plan and how have they be doing recently is a good question to ask.
Also, bear in mind that post 9/11 Virgin ditched over a quarter of their pilots without hesitation. BA made no one redundant.
