Thank you for the "heads up" regarding the interview.
I couldn't get your link to work for me though I did find this one:
BBC News - Today - Today: Monday 15th March
What was of interest, and I do wish that interviewers would do a bit of research, was that Derek Simpson, joint General Secretary of Unite, mentions the "delayed" offer by BA with no mention of BASSA/Unite's delay in getting their offer to BA to consider (the "lost weekend"), nor does he mention that Unite had recommended to its members that the offer be refused.
Additionally, in his hedging about rules regarding the calling of the strike dates he does not state that BA provided an extension with their offer so long as strike dates were not called.
All in all it could have been a worse interview for BASSA, though stumbling responses regarding Gordon Brown's opinion did not play well.
