Uffa - Yes, you are correct, and No, it has not been addressed, and will not unless those affected can persuade BA to change it. My reply from the BA Acting Manager - People is that the new rules,which were the subject of a 3 year Confidentiality Agreement between BA and the so called reprentatives of those about to become disenfranchised, ( i.e. don't let on to anyone what we are about to hit them with ) WILL be introduced and no further discussion or letters will be tolerated. Get used to it. Elements of ABAP - Ass'n. of BA Pensioners - have called for a fighting fund, pls.join. see
