.... and I venture to suggest that those 3 people are in receipt of an APS pension, not a NAPS pension. They probably also served over 30 years and quite possibly had training appointments which would all boost their pensions. Additionally they probably also had the option to crystalise at 50, and then retired on an enhanced deal at 55.

That is not the lot of the vast majority in BA on NAPS, and what the company are likely to propose is some form of career averaging which may take someone's pension from an expected £50,000 to nearer £30,000. Crystalisation is no longer an option and under NAPS the pension is only index-linked to a point, unlike the full indexation of APS.

You really need to understand the facts before you shout from your almighty pulpit.
