It's probably been political at a very high level since the December ballot result. Problem is ( as I understand it, ready to be corrected) whilst UNITE hold the purse strings BASSA "own" the ballot result. So the question is are the BASSA Reps prepared to listen to anybody outside their own circle of acolytes. If those are determined to go out in a blaze of "glory", as they would see it, or fancy the Thelma and Louise ending , I'm not sure anyone can actually stop them other then other BASSA members.
Nevertheless I reckon they're under just a bit of pressure..and not just from BA.
(edit: Litebulbs, not sure about your LHR slot comment; are you implying the Labour Government would threaten BA with slot removal? I'm not sure they are in position to do this...)
