Ba pensions problem

Lets get this Straight at Last.

The only improvement is the £8M Ba has thrown into the deal.(to offer a fig leaf to the unions to justify acceptance).

THAT WILL NOT BE ENOUGH TO CHANGE ANYTHING MAJOR TO THE LAST BA OFFER.

The NAPS membership will have to swallow the total cost of the tweaks to return to the old scheme NAPS type deal as BA required which could rise to 20% extra contributions of pensionable pay if a member opted for them all!

The RPI max link to future pensionable pay will remain.

Face it guys BA has WON and BALPA did not rise to the bar.

It chose the easy option to protect the senior NAPS guys who will not be affected so badly.

You will be asked to vote to accept the BA offer. NO STRIKE BALLOT.

The outcome was so predictable, like the fact that the Membership will Vote Yes to this deal and accept the Union recommendation. They have never thrown out a deal brokered by New Road and never will.

W. Walsh 1 Balpa 0.......... The City and the Chairman chose the right C.E.O.

Whats next on the W. Walsh Menu
