WW & the product.
So, WW likes the product but not the company, says, remarkably well informed, cheekyvisual. Well what would he replace it with then? BAR?
BAR lost BA £300million pa & BACON only "loses" 20 or so, that looks like a BIG saving to me. Assuming you accept the creative accounting in the 1st place.
As for morals, don't expect any. They were possible when the Ombudsman told BA/Brymon/CX that the Brymon pensioners had a MOral case for a claim re their disgarded FS pension, but the ruling was brushed asside.
If there is any moral case it is to eliminate the divided pension arrangements that give one pilot group an FS scheme & the others a lottery. After a decade or so of service my pension looks like £7kpa, I doubt it will be any better when I get to collect it either.
Also, BA mainline pensions will be what they will be without reference to BACON. Don't kid yourself that if BA m/l keep a great scheme that the "moral" issue will count that way round.
If the BACC are genuinily extending a helping hand it should be grasped. Divide and rule has always worked for management & collective action works for employees. Sadly it is like herding cats so far as pilots are concerned. Individualism rules.
There was an oppurtunity to draw a line in the sand a year or so ago & we collectively wimped out. Now here is the result.
Evans & co think we won't have the guts to stand up to them. They do NOT think that about the BACC & BA pilots for one simple reason. They have demonstrated a willingness to strike. We have dmonstrated the opposite.
