Got to say it.............You guys in BACON have got your just desserts! Particularly those of you ex BRAL who have sat fat dumb and happy in "fortress Manchester" content that your mates Hutch and his relos were in control after having spent a goodly apprenticeship honing their skills under Flossyfeatures. You were always going to be looked after weren't you?
You sat their as jet training jobs were dished out to your people who'd never flown a jet before by Anstead and all sorts of other little favours given to ease the passage from the Island and distanced yourself from the total carnage that was left in the wake of the Fosse and McLaren bulldozers.
As for bothering to give any support to your colleagues in the regions as they were disrupted time and time again, well you just couldnt be bothered could you, because you were all right Jack...eh?
So give me one single reason why those of us expecting less than £10K (Those in the Money purchase scheme-typical illustration) in retirement should put whats left of our pathetic company at risk to ensure that you get your £40K or thereabouts?
As for equating the Private health care carried over by a few ex Brymonites to the value of the Final salary scheme that you are all whinging about now..............get a life!! 30 quid a month against 30 thousand a year......ooh, let me see.that is a difficult one.!!
Sorry guys but you have lost the war before even the first battle.......hell half of you couldnt even be bothered to return your pay questionnaire.
As to the future of BACON, I reckon Willie has got a goodun and would be an idiot to let it go. Where else in the industry would he find such a bunch of divided spineless wimps who do absolutely everything they are told by management for the price of a bag of monkey nuts.
