BA already made major changes (with member approval) to the scheme 10 years ago when they:
- Increased the pension age
- lowered the accrual rate
- Capped pensionable pay
- Lowered the cap on pension growth
Staff have every right to look at taking action on these further changes. What other companies have already done is completely irrelevant and no-one should be "immensely grateful" to an employer that meets their contractual obligations.
