Re: BA pilots 'prepared to strike'
Dear Nigels,
Please protect your pension. You are supposedly at the top of the British pilot food chain. When your Ts and Cs erode the knock on effect affects us all lower down.
The message should be the pilot works hard with safety and responsibility his primary concern. He has a fair pension signed up to on joining the company. If the company can not support it (although it can be proved that it can by the sounds of things) then shouldn't those managers whose responsibility it is to run the company be having their bonuses stopped/reduced. They afterall, receieve salaries - bonuses should be performance not attendance based!
Not a BA problem alone - a problem of the free market - however it need not be so terribly skewed.
