To illustrate the pension contributions a little bit:
BA for the FSS spends about 7 pounds per head (company) to keep it alive
easy with their 7% contribution of basic spends 37pence per head.
No wonder they wanted to get rid of it?
Can I just say it is very shortsighted of BALPA and BA to assume that the new BARP will not increase in priority very soon, and I am quite happy to see that members in BALPA do see it.
Shame it got voted out though, would have been a huge incentive to many of us.
