Shamelessly nicked from the "official" thread....

Talks between Unite the union and British Airways aimed at resolving the cabin crew dispute resumed over the Easter weekend and are continuing, the union said today (Wednesday).
Joint general secretary Tony Woodley said: “It is welcome that talks have resumed and I am pleased that some serious progress has been made over the issues which have divided us.
“However, there is more work to be done, and further discussions will take place with the company over the next few days. I reported to representatives of our cabin crew today and explained that it would be unnecessary to set further strike dates while these talks are continuing and making progress.
(my bold)

But will BASSA agree with Mr Woodley's assessment I wonder?

It seeems to me that this announcement has pulled the rug from under BASSA's feet* with regard to further strike action.

*On the assumption that there is indeed a split between BASSA and Unite, as many on here have suggested.
