BA pensions problem

The T and G abstained at the meeting on Friday, they could not agree to the deal today but reserved judgement. As stated by the T and G deputy general Secretary Jack Dromey. in a messsage to Bassa members.
The deal proposed is only worth another 8 million according to the T and G (so it must be pretty close to the original offer).
As I predicted BALPA chickened out of a strike and went with the flow of the other unions, BA stated if they did not agree today they would impose their (BA) solution next Tuesday.... so much for a strong BALPA.
I am sure that Monday will reveal that the pensionable pay link to RPI remains.... which was supposed to be an unacceptable BALPA requirement originally.
Balpa is all talk as I said all along with respect to this dispute.
There will be no strike ballot.
