Beaver,
Management think theres a lot of ignorance amongst us all regarding the pensions, and quite frankly, I dont actually understand - no surprises there, and I havent really with everything else going on had the time to do the reading. However, Im with you just on the basis of the second part of your posting. Cyprus Airways guys took a 30% hit in salary of pilots - because if they didnt management said ' theyd close the company' .. meanwhile practically every ab initio employer - except us Ill admit - is now demanding people pay their own type ratings.... Hmm... Its not really about the numbers, is it? Any loss to our present Ts and Cs as they stand isn't something to wave away lightly.. Ive put holiday plans on hold and Im hanging on to my purse strings too... because Im going to support BALPA action along with you. x
