Working Hard,
I agree with you entirely, however you have missed the point BUS was making. Virtually ALL of the perks and allowances that we signed up to have been lost. Yes, the pension is still in place, but for how long?
And as for RyanAir and BMI, well you need to take a good long look at their allowance package. I don't see many of them living in tents in the deserts for months at a time. Likewise, I've seen the hotels and other perks they receive. Why do you think so many ex RAF pilots join the airlines??
Kind regards
