Perhaps the reason that so many who voted yes to a strike are now working, is that BASSA got an improved offer in the form of 184 (I think) of the reduced crew level replaced, plus a cash bonus on the same basis the pilots would get shares, and possibly could have firmed up on the generally vague promises of continuing T&Cs (which were firmed up somewhat in the new offer immediately pre strike), but BASSA effectively refused to put it to a ballot by calling strike dates instead.
The deadline for calling strike dates had been mutually agreed between Walsh and Simpson of Unite to be extended, but by calling the strike, the whole thing came off the table, and one can't help but wonder if that was intentional, either by BASSA as they thought crew might vote in favour of it, or McLuskey who seems to have his own agenda.
