the stupidty in moaning to me that i didn't strike whilst you were at easy/ryan/bax/wherever so that you could get a better deal WHEN YOU MANAGED TO JOIN is breathtaking
well no one else was in a position to strike to stop it happening, were they? British Gas employees didn't see it as stupid. You still don't seem to comprehend that reducing terms for new joiners as a tool for reducing employee costs, is like stealing candy from babies for management, and the only impediment to it happening is a bit of selflessness from present employees.

I am not in BA, thank God, but I have narrowly missed out on a final salary pension twice in my career, and there seems to be no end to the supply of pilot negotiators who are happy to let this sort of thing continue to happen.
