The bmi pension debacle should worry everyone with a pension in the UK, not just those at bmi. If a solvent company can walk away from it's responsibilities as easily as DLH have done, then no-one's pension is safe.
This is a huge issue. Everyone, in all industrys (apart from public sector obviously - with their platinum plated pensions) in the UK should be addressing this issue. Lufthansa must be made to honour their origonal agreeent, otherwise no pension fund, anywhere is safe.
Anyone with a final salary pension who isn't very worried about this, doesnt understand the implications of what lufty did to the BMI pension fund.
