So at what point do we do away with all this uncertainty over pensions by what surely could be a simple move....if The Airline Group wants to reduce its liability, and the pension fund is so huge we in NATS are actually a pension fund with a tiny ATC company attached to it, why not ballot all the staff and and agree to simply buy the non-public part of the PPP organisation?
No Airline Group, no pressure on the current management = problem solved? We take the risk, but we work for that risk.
I know things are never entirely simple, but surely that's a possibility? Please tell me if I'm being 'blonde'!
