Im not going to get involved with the abuse that has been put your way (even though from some of your posts you probably deserve some of it).
But your above comment shows a huge amout of ignorance to the world outside of your BA comfort zone.
Show me an airline that pays you as much and offers such variety and has the perfect pension scheme because unless you sleep in the Compass Centre and are totally unaware of the outside world very few if any airlines left in this country offer a final salary pension scheme. So please tell me which airline you will be moving to in order to match your view of the ideal airline.
