I'm sure they are, but they wouldn't dare. Management know that closing NAPS for current workers is the one thing that would have the entire company enraged. It simply would not be allowed to pass. It also creates the problem that they have then eliminated almost all incentive to stay for the highly skilled, long term tech staff. If NAPS is closed and your final pension from that scheme is fixed, it becomes necessary to seek the best possible pay you can get in order to ensure you accrue sufficient funds for your retiremment through a money purchase scheme. Thats certainly not something you'd get staying at BA and I think you'd see an awful lot of flight crew and engineers jumping ship simply because there really isn't anything to lose anymore.
