It isn't just a question of sticking to our pension. It's still not clear to me what keeping the pension exactly as it currently is really means. If it was a straight choice between choosing a degraded pension and the current pension and nothing else changes then it's as pretty simple choice and everybody votes No. However if it's a choice between a degraded pension and everybody keeps their job or the current pension and some NATS staff lose their jobs then it isn't such an easy choice. I'd find it quite hard to vote No if it meant somebody else losing their job even if I was pretty sure I'd keep mine. I certainly wouldn't vote No if it meant me losing my job so that somebody who's paid many times the national average and enjoys exceptionally good working conditions can keep his pension exactly as it is.
