Overstress,
You've hit the nail exactly where the problem is :

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.
I hope you guys in BA and Easy will win your respective fight. It's about time to realise that the fat cats and managers alike enjoy their Yearly bonus thanks to the hard work of the EMPLOYEES within the Industry. It's about time that :
1)Everyone enjoy a fare share of Profits when business is doing good
2)Media and others stop exagerating a largely false picture of doom and gloom of our industry : ie 9/11 hit everybody hard, fuel prices are soaring, competition coming from the east. SARS yesterday Birdflue tomorrow...........
3) Balpa not only defends members in their respective companies but also LOBBY on MP's and government members to have bankrupt US airlines stay where they should be --> on the tarmack.
