BA eases staff fears
A poll of British Airways staff finds the company is making progress in convincing them of the seriousness of its pension problem.. More than half those questioned by MORI saw it as a threat to BA's survival. Two-thirds agreed that changes are needed to the pension scheme, which has a £1.4bn net deficit under new accounting rules. Some 80 percent agreed that they need to take action to secure their pension. BA talked last week with 14,500 staff, nearly half the members of its main scheme. Talks with trustees and unions will follow.
The poll will give BA some encouragement. While less than half felt that options had been explained clear;y, 49 percent said BA had been 'open and honest', with 21 percent agreeing.

Just a shame they dont mention only 10% of staff in NAPS were asked these questions, so Two-thirds of staff is less than 7% of staff in this pension agree change is reqd.
So more than 93% of staff do not want change in plain English.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
