Hugh,. .Did you check out the Dan website,!! the info I,ve got back today is that it was 1988 when compulsory pensions were introduced for cabin crew,this info comes from Pauline Foden who was Cabin Services Manager at the time,she was also a trustee.. .I,d be grateful to know if you,ve found out anything else,as your query has opened a bag of worms,I think I,ve got a case against a company over pension miss selling.. .P.
