Most anti BA people are missing the point I think. It's not a case of us being upset at the possibility of having to work to 60 (although I would rather not). It's that BA are taking the pension that would be due to me at 55. It's just the same as me writing a cheque to them for a couple of hundred grand or effectively taking a 40% pay cut for my last 5 years. How many of you think it's ok to work hard for a company for 25 years, taking a 40% salary cut in the last part and then have less of a pension than you were promised.
