Thats the spirit, give up what you have today and bring on a less prosperous future.

You give your life to work and in some cases your health. A pension is the least a company can offer for that.

You can make money with money and economic cycles are just that. Pensions are a life long investment and should be protected at all costs. That is what the BAA staff are trying to do.

Closing the scheme to new starters is just the first step in winding a scheme up. That is the fear. Obviously a healthy percentage of BAA employees want to stop this happening.

There is enough money out there for everyone, not just the rich at the top.
