You lot do give up sooooooo easily! Not to mention the speed with which you turn against each other.
bmi management may be useless, but they've got no worries dealing with a workforce not only significantly more useless than themselves, but also fragmented by brainless, selfish infighting.
Throw in
BALPA, who's only interest seems to be to defend it's main sponsors, the British Airways workforce, and you really are in a mess.
.....unless, of course, you decide to acquire backbones. Just stick up for yourselves for once and show you're not willing to be treated like doormats by a bunch of money grabbing thugs! A viable pension scheme is perfectly possible, even despite G Brown's thievery. The problem is, it requires proper management. You won't get that until you stand up, shoulder to shoulder, and demand it.
Pigs might fly.
Edit : I'm puzzled as to how some people posting here feel entitled to comment on this topic. When you elected to join bmibaby, or Flybe (as known examples) you knew that you were accepting totally new terms and conditions,
including a joke of a pension. With that lack of judgement, your "advice" here is hardly of any value!
