Simple. We're not talking about now, we're talking about the future, the next 10 or 20 or 30 or 40 or 50 or 60 or 70 years. I feel like I'm going round in ever decreasing circles but to make the point once more. The regulator has clearly told NATS to sort out its pension contributions, it has ceased allowing pass through of pension costs for anyone joining after 1 Jan 2006. Undoubtedly it WILL do more as we enter 'negotiation' for CP3 if NATS does nothing now. NATS costs increase but its charges do not, NATS goes bust and our pensions get hit HARD.
