Heavy,
There is strength in unity. Division of the workforce is an proven way of reducing overall terms and conditions. Division is what we have in BA.
The BARP scheme is a disgrace and we, the current pilots, let it happen. The Engineers in British Gas went on strike to protect the final salary scheme for new workers. They had far more foresight than us.
If you speak to the new joiners you may find out that many did not know how bad the pension was before joining. Indeed, they were told two things. Firstly, BA said it would be industry leading - it is not. Secondly, they believed it was still under negotiation with BALPA.
By not demanding a good pension for new pilots you have promoted the demise of the industry you help build. Shameful.
