Studi,

So I'm clear then

We voted to take some t&c changes to allow an integration that both provided expansion for us and survival for a large part of BMI. The emotive issues of how that integration will occur have been extensively discussed and whilst we disagree as to how the 'spoils' should be shared no BMI pilot will be financially worse off as a result, and that's a legal and legislative bottom line. That's what BA's pilots are responsible for, period. And for this you lampoon us.

Your company dumps BMI without regard for the future its various divisions, then dumps its pension fund without any regard for its moral obligation to the accept the failure of its venture by ensuring sufficient cash was made available to protect the fund. And this matters not to you?

Mmm, your alright Joachim!

Edited to apologise for not recognising your Herculean offer of a .5% cut to your inflationary pay rise, if it's proved a 'right' (does that mean legally required?) thing to do. You'll know what I gave up to facilitate the integration then, or what the average BMI pilot would have earned extra over a career on pp34 scale v midlands?
