Ouch! Not been pidgeon holed that quickly before.
I totally agree that it is better to help all, and I don't agree with taking away a contractual pension from someone who has worked for it. I sincerely hope the FSS remains for those who joined with it as part of their package. As you say, it is deferred pay, so you have already "earned" it.
We were told at interview that all changes had to come from the existing pot, so I was just exploring a more pilot agreed approach to the issue.
As I said earlier, I have an existing pension, so I am probably better off than most. I think the worst hit will be the airline crossovers from LCC's, with little pension, and large debts. I don't think this is a mil/civvie issue here.
Over the moon to be in, looking forward to flying, just trying to get a handle on some of the issues. It may take me a while to get used to the "Office Politics", and I hope I haven't offended by exploring possibilities.
