A newsletter is apparently in the process of being written. Remember that the talks only finished yesterday!

I can only read between the lines here and suggest that there must be some substance to the offer as BALPA need over a month to process it before putting it to a vote by the membership towards the end of October.

When the extremely advantageous Virgin deal was agreed a few years ago the offer was rejected by the membership several times before final agreement was reached.

The state of affairs here at the moment is that BALPA have a proposal that they feel they can put before the membership. Only they can decide whether it is acceptable or not as the case may be.

We should know more in the next few days.

The proof of the pudding is ....etc.
