There is a hole in your Cost Pass Trough argument.

I don’t recall BA making a cash call to its shareholders to pay off the US Department of Justice fine of $300m for price fixing.

Neither do I recall BA making a cash call to its shareholders to pay off the Office of Fair Trading fine of £121.5m or the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) fines or the £100m passenger compensation package they had to put into place following all these illegal activities.

So presumably the fines for these illegal activities were paid out of their revenue i.e. passed on to their customers yet we are told by NATS management the CAA would never allow our pension scheme to be funded by our customers.

During the time of BA’s price fixing fuel surcharges rose from £5 to £60 per ticket, I have seen estimates that Cost Pass Trough for our Pension would be 29p per ticket.

Cost Pass Trough is the way ahead.
