What association would that be then Fume? I don't recall BA stopping anyones ballot in recent years. Could it be that you are bending the truth to suit your case once again?
If Walsh wanted to close BA down for a week, do Carnage and others here seriously believe that he will not deal with you at the same time?
What, you mean this December? Somehow I doubt it, as much as you'd love it.
Most at risk are pensions. It is unbelievable that Walsh has not tackled the deficit already, but there is one group of employees he wants to keep onside.....for the moment.
Pray tell how he tackles the deficit when he doesn't even have a valuation to work on?
Next year the final salary scheme will be closed and even accrued benefits will be changed to the money purchase BARP.
Change in the law is there?
Yes the legislation is going to be changed to help companies with large pension deficits out.
Yep, but not in the way you're thinking. Or not thinking more like.
That is the thanks you are going to get for your co-operation. And a four year no strike deal as well as the icing on the cake, so you can't do anything about it. What a stitch up.
Keep bleating. We both know you're wrong Mr P.
If Carnage, Top Bunk, Overstress and all have any sense, they should all be hoping that the mainly female workforce in cabin crew are successful.
Still desperately trying the female discrimination angle are we? Wonder why you didn't try that in the High Court when you were losing your injunction battle.
Otherwise you may have a Spanish co-pilot sitting next to you earning 30% more, and a pension worth 50% less, even if the stock market is doing well.
Oooh, a touching racist tone to your final comments. I'd have no problems with a Spanish co-pilot, just as I have no problems with the Belgians, Dutch, Germans, Irish or Finnish co-pilots in BA. And if you think the pension isn't screwed regardless of the stock market then it would explain why your BASSA maths isn't too good.
