BASSA, I think, are waiting for WW to make the next move
Then I suspect they will be waiting a long time. As far as I'm aware the Company's stated position is:

1. The final offer ( the one made post the announcement of strike dates) is still on the table. Announce more strike dates and that offer will be gone.

2. Staff Travel will not be re-instated for strikers.

3. Those staff going through the Company's disciplinary process will continue to be "processed".

That's it.

Having seen the consequences of walking out the rank and file Cabin Crew will be stewing on the consequences to them of another walkout, I suspect UNITE are trying to untangle themselves from the unholy mess that BASSA has put them in...in the meantime the BASSA Reps will be desparately trying to do something, anything to get the issue back onto the front pages of the newspapers. I reckon WW is sleeping more soundly than the UNITE/BASSA Reps this weekend.

fly12345 summed it all up very eloquently when he posted:

There has never been a strategy attached to Bassa actions, they remain a destructive, evil force only thinking of themselves and nothing else, a bunch of hooligans with disproportionate power and unfortunately (ever decreasing) following.
