Sorry chaps it is me drunk again
We seem to miss the point the forum was started for some support for the pilot community against the bullying by the ba mangement .If the decision goes in favour of BA we all will be effected by this .Cos if BA can get away with not paying your pension what is that stopping the others
Now i am not a bean counter and i haven't got the foggiest idea about 34%tax, i pay 40% tax that means i work for gordon brown for upto mid may then i get to keep what i earn after that
The invstment of pension funds is done by the board and they (we hope ) know what they doing ie get a good return on the investment and this return if i may understand is taxed
The point was about the original funds which instead of being given to the pilots who worked hard all thier lives is being kept in some funds so the BA board can make some money out of it whilst the retiered pilots from BA just wait
I am sorry if i sound arrogant or Allegedly drunk blame it on the landlord of my pub here in my village
