As the thread starter, I'd like to thank the non BA contributors for their thoughts. For those who wish to compare this situation with the GG fiasco, forget it. This is all about pilots who have given the company 20% productivity improvements practically free, being shafted by a management team from the 'flog 'em till they resign' Harvard Business School.
Many of us chose to leave other airline careers to join BA, sacrificing years of seniority. The pension was part of the deal when we joined. We will not stand by and allow Willie Walsh to shaft us. Journalists and City moles, take note.
