BillS, its only a 3 week suspension, by my reckoning, in order to keep the recent ballot "alive" then BASSA/UNITE must have 1 days strike before the 22nd March, thus having to give notice of such a strike by the 15th March.
Remember also that BASSA can't just snap its fingers and call for a strike tomorrow they must give 7 days notice, I don't think the company will be that perturbed with these events, it was no secret according to my information. In fact a UNITE official was talking openly about it last night to crew.
"Anotherthing" Ref the 14/15th Sorry I was working on the assumption that in the current climate BA would not agree to extend the period available for strike action
