Come on guys,
regardless of what's happening to current staff in various bits of the old bmi/BMA/BM empire, Pete has raised a valid point. Along with lots of other employees he was loyal to one employer over a long period of time. Part of the reward was a defined benefit pension and certain perks in retirement. Pete and others kept their side of the bargain, but have seen others water down their obligations. Existing staff are seeing pension benefits evaporate like a mirage before their (our) very eyes.
If people like Pete don't draw attention to injustices at all levels, then the modern day Robber Barons are likely to get away with more, not less.
Just my own thoughts.
