Has this become a thread on pensions?
No, it's about CC terms and conditions, of which pensions are a part. A Lurker seems to think his pension is rubbish, when in fact by national standards (it is close to the average wage) it's actually quite good.
Having just flown an intinerary with the reduced crew complements, because they have not been thought out properly or trialled, the impact of these changes is a reduction in safety and an undermining of the service, especially to Club passengers. On the 3 class 777 where the crewing level has been reduced to only 10, it is a disaster.
Can you explain then, why LGW, which operates these levels does not suffer from an unsafer operation (ASRs bear this out), or customer service is not compromised (GPMs bear this out)? Maybe you should just get used to working a bit harder FE; the rest of us, including your "colleagues" at LGW have had to.
