Interesting quotes Paddy.
BA seems quite clear today in its highlighting of the difference between Unite and the "dysfunctional" BASSA.
From Sky News:
Mr Walsh suggested that Unite would be willing to accept the offer, the branch of the union that represents the cabin crew, BASSA, was taking a hardline approach.
He said: "...while Tony Woodley, general secretary of Unite, is stating publicly that we have "agreement in principle" on all the important elements of the deal, BASSA continues to rubbish the offer we have made."
BA does not seem to be giving messages that indicate that they are wishing to placate the militant BASSA adherents.
