AndyPandy, Thanks for your last post, much information, I did like the following quote, shows how staff working together is a dream.
.quote.
.
"Interestingly, we even came up with a cost effective way of self funding an increase in pensionable pay. BA said the two Unions (BALPA and AMICUS) who had been in agreement on the 5th January would insist on the same improvement. Tony Woodley even telephoned the General Secretary of BALPA. After he had spoken to the senior BA BALPA reps, he phoned Tony back informing him that they would not allow any group to improve the pension arrangements agreed by BALPA on the 5th January 2007.
So there you have it the highest paid group, stopping the lowest paid group (post 97 crew contract) having a chance to self fund improvements to their pensions".

Nice to know BALPA are in charge of Cabin Crew pensions, guess they also in charge of all Ground Staff pensions as well, am sure it's Fair
