"the Pilot Share Plan that was much vaunted in 2009, even making it into the papers......"
For those that are perplexed as to what is being discussed:
Seems several years down the road BA have been told by someone in IAG that the shares are not going to be made available...in other words BA management made a promise they couldn't keep. Cash may now be offered by way of compensation but details/amounts are yet to be confirmed:
Just so's you know what you're letting yourself in for.
Couldn't have put it better myself.....
