WWW,
You are correct, BALPA will not go on strike, however staff may vote to take IA, it will be a long game, would guess the company will want to fix its problem sooner than later, just look at the press about how the stock markets going up are helping many private pensions.
.
If Gordon would do the honest thing and correct what he did in 1997, plus pay back all he has looted over this time, the private pensions picture would be a lot lot better in the Uk.
.
Many people in the UK will reduce or stop paying into pensions if things are not changed, I think public pensions should get treated just like private pensions, ie, when private gets looted, loot public as well, that would soon change things.

My new years wish is we have an election in 07!!!
