I believe Eddington's & Rishton's (CFO) pensions accrued at twice the rate of other employees. Both are now gone. Fair enough, Eddington's departure was known about in advance because he did say five years and no more. Rishton recently jumped ship for a better job elsewhere, so that was money well spent on "keeping talent in the company".
I wouldn't be at all surprised to find that the BA board have better pensions than staff. This type of thing has been a bone of contention for some time. The "poor bloody infantry" take all the pensions risk while company bosses are shielded from the effects of shortfalls. Same with MP's, Uk taxpayers are funding the MP's scheme deficit. One law for them, one for the rest of us.
