Tight Budgets within the EU require every Cent / Penny collected where possible. I am sure we will see more and more measures how to pull cash of your earned money. I would have no problem with that basicaly if it would be ensured that in the future (retirement) I would see my contribution awarded. The way it goes presently with politicians is just the opposite way: The consistancy of rules and regulations changes the direction like the tides and the trade winds.
You sign some agreement, contract based on todays law to your best knowledge and believe, tomorrow that can be worthless and some jealous people try to screw Aircrews again as they earn too much money. I am sure the market is saturated meanwhile, the direction of the T & Cīs shows clearly the direction: Make it cheaper, getting lower, it is not low enough by now. The day when it collapses comes, I hope as late as possible.
