orni Yes, indeed. I am on your side and of others that want to fight for pensions. Whilst it is apparent that pensions have to be adjusted to fit the current and future trading, it should be scaled acros ten or more years. Unfortunately, the CEO (and others) have their bonus's geared year by year and a benefit that is adjusted across ten years will not make them so much - even if it would be better for the company.
Politicians do the same thing - they cannot think further than doing something NOW that will have (they hope) the right effect to get them re-elected in X years time, irrespective of which is best for the company.
There is a humble charity I know: they failed to adjust a particular charging structure by a small amount each year and then had to make a massive adjustment in one go and, at a stroke, alienated dozens of their volunteers who were actually delivering what the charity promised it would.
So, once again, I expect that BA will be that silly as to provoke a strike.
