Bassa need to accept the last offer NOW.
It will only get worse for all crew, particularly the strikers.
Is it only about the politics and egos of the reps and militants.
The strike is not working.
If Bassa really had the best interests of the majority of its members in mind they would negotiate a deal without preconditions.
Do they accept that the amount BA is looking for is valid, because it appears that they do. Then the outstanding issues are to make the changes permanent ( irrelevant to a point because if BA is making record profits in 5 years time we can all re-negotiate) and the big sticking points which are the re-instatement of suspendees and staff travel.
Neither of which is going to happen.
Staff travel will have to wait until some future time perhaps, but the suspensions could be divided in to categories of severity.
Genuinely minor offences , misconduct , could be considered as part of the settlement.
More serious offences ( I hear some may be criminal) will have to go through the whole disciplinary process.
