If you joined NATS after summer 2001, then you will not have an excellent pension; within a matter of a few years you will be transferred to the new scheme. If you will be retiring in more than 10-15 years then you probably will not have an excellent pension, because history shows that closing schemes to new employees means the end of final salary pension schemes within that period of time.
If you had been to a briefing then you would have heard that the right to be in the existing pension scheme is going to be written in to each employee's T&Cs for those in post today. But of course you don't trust management or the Union.
I am sorry the numbers pretty much speak for themesleves.
