Sadly BA are beginning to play this game too...

To a much lesser degree luckily, but it's the thin end of the wedge!

I flew recently with one of the new entry BA DEPs (on the new money purchase pension scheme which replaced NAPS) to find out that he had no idea what his pension arrangements would be until after he joined. He was told the company were still deciding what the new pension arrangements would be, but don't worry because "it will be a market leading arrangement".

Only after joining did he find out that he was not getting what he was promised.

I guess our managers have to stoop to MOL's tactics to compete (or would it be to improve their own bonuses?).

It's the 'trickle down' effect at work, except in this case it is the degradation of T&Cs that is trickling down.
