Management have said that the existing scheme would be safe and yet in December last year
they made a unilateral change to the existing scheme in respect of both the 40-year rule and the non-ATCO flex that demonstrated that this is not the case.

As somebody who was affected by both those changes I took a very close interest in that and having researched it very thoroughly I can tell you that NATS had no choice but to make those changes. The person to blame for that change to our pension was Gordon Brown who headed up the Government that brought in the age discrimination legislation
.
The above quote was made by the Union, so is Management to blame or the Government? If it's the Government then this quote from the Union is incorrect !
Times have certainly changed but loyalty ? Are you suggesting that the NTUS reps are acting dishonestly ? If so I think you either need to withdraw the accusation or find some evidence to support it.
Certainly the NTUS has modified its approach, sometimes you have to amend your demands when they are shown to be unrealistic, but to describe that as betrayal is ridiculous unless you can prove that they are acting in anything other than what they believe to be the best interests of the membership as a whole.

I think you are losing the plot here, it is
you who are suggesting that
I am suggesting that NTUS reps are acting dishonestly!
I have not described anything as betrayal (you are mixing up posts here
)
