Just because you were desperate for a job once doesn't mean that you have to tolerate gross imbalance / injustice in T&C's for ever. Those that joined through CTC had little choice which carrier they were allocated to. You appear to be a fairly typical earlier generation MON pilot in that you do not realise that OUR PACKAGE IS NOT EVEN IN LINE WITH THE LOCO's! And if you’re so resigned to the fact that the LOCO attitude is inevitable then you will have no objection to me voting to scrap scale B and close the FS pension to future accrual at the earliest possible opportunity. Didn't think so.

I notice that no one said to you guys that "if you don't like having to put more into the FS pension pot then leave....after all you signed the contract".
No the full effort of the CC was put into reaching a swift solution. Not a "we are bearing it in mind" solution, you will note.

It's the high seniority FO's and low seniority Capt's that need to start lobbying for a change of attitude, because it is them that will one day be faced with a CC and voting majority that know that they were hung out to dry by the apathy / ignorance of what will then be the minority. See what happens when the next FS crisis rears its ugly but inevitable head when we are sat on a pittance of a pension contribution, long after the people with the current union power are sat on their FS pensions.
