BA pension problem

Still it is basically the same deal as before apart from
1. an improvement to BARP .
2. An improvement to the RPI protection of the pension to 5% from the proposed 2.5%. These are good BUT.......
The rest is basically the same as before, the main problem is the max of RPI increases to pensionable pay. Over 20 years or so that wiill increase the gap between actual pay and pensionable pay to 50% from the 20% it is today not a good deal for copilots and junior captains and this was originally unacceptable to BALPA. However true to form they have accepted a bad deal for the juniors to protect the seniors. As I said before, par for the course.
However I am sure it will get the votes from the members and the BA pilot T and Cs will fall again lower.
