I think BA need bringing to task if this is the case. At interview, we were DEFINATELY told pension was 12 % contribution. The Ad in FI, and the BA website say it is an"Industry Leading Pension"
I think a call to the Advertising Standards Agency may be in order, as that is a claim that is totally untrue.
The number of pilots joining under this scheme is growing fast, and must be near 10% of the workforce soon. How can BA/BALPA fail to represent such a large section of its members.
I know a lot of people say "You knew what it was when you joined", but that is not actually true. You have no visibility of BLR before you join BA, and there appears to be a lot of smoke and mirrors surrounding this issue - not surprising if it really is as bad a deal as it seems. It seems to fall behind every other major airline in the country, other than easy, which it is comparable with.
