Re: BA pilots 'prepared to strike'
M.Mouse - just because a bunch of pilots sat on shuttle back up at the companies behest, why should I lose 40% of my pension? The ones who became stewards did so at BA's offer.
When we work really hard and get forced to go to work, the company say "this is what you signed up for". When we say "can we have the pension you signed up to give us?" they say no.
If you look back to threads about pay strikes from a couple of years ago, you will see me posting to say that we shouldn't. Again and again. This time its different.
It wouldn't be different if BA couldn't afford to pay despite good management.
It is different because BA can afford to pay, despite some considerably poor descisions (that were pointed out at the time). The company are feeding us propaganda at the moment - mixed with a small amount of truth.
