There has been some talk since the strike but I think one of the issues is that BA and UNITE are really far away from each other which makes it even more difficult to come to an agreement.
MissM, here is the crux of the argument. This dispute could have been resolved had you been given a chance to vote on the offer placed on the table prior to the announcement of strike dates, but UNITE/BASSA decided that you should not have that opportunity. Further, they announced strike dates knowing that this offer would be withdrawn as a result.

Do you not feel that your union are not representing you properly?

Or do you blindly accept everything they say?

As far as I can see, BA and cabin crew may well have been able to see eye to eye, but those in charge of BASSA and UNITE don't want this to happen, as it shows them to be worthless.
