thread drift
Seems to have drifted off topic a bit. BA has such a big presence within Balpa that it is hardly surprising that they are fairly high profile especially when something like this comes up. Others will feel agrieved because they only see the ivory tower aspect of it all and actually wouldn't mind if those rich chaps (no gender bias to be implied!) living the high life as described in the Daily Mail were brought down to earth. I actually support the BA members in their current predicament but it did grate somewhat when such a big thing was made of the limits on pension accrual and the campaign run by Balpa on this. This was made a little harder to take in when the BA members had quite happily sold new entrants down the line with regards pension membership.
