It used to annoy the hell out of me that a senior captain in his early fifties could spend all his career on shorthaul contributing on a salary of £70k (for arguments sake, don't get me started on cash in hand expenses), then use his high bid status to go long haul, then pay in on say £110k for the final few years and then collect his pension based on this inflated final salary. Please could you show me another group of peolpe working for BA that can do this???
I'd like to be shown any group in BA that can do that because pilots certainly can't. The pensionable pay on short haul and long haul was
exactly the same. The only difference in income was due to
non-pensionable allowances. Another myth debunked.
