Landedoutagain, you are mistaken about your protection. I specifically went and found out about this, since I was unsure. The facts are this: it is the scheme that is protected and the members of that scheme. If you are a member of the scheme, regardless of whether you joined before or after PPP, you are protected. NATS management, or any new owner, if it were ever to come to that, would still have to comply with all the protections that were set down in law, and apply them to all members of the scheme. Nobody presently in the scheme can get moved to a different one unless they opt to do it themselves, regardless of who owns NATS.
