My prediction is this.....

...the new offer will be accepted.


There will be (is) much posturing on the BASSA Forum and onboard about how the deal is not good enough and how the sacked and suspended cannot be left behind. But quietly, come the vote, the majority will want this over with. Individuals will rather see their staff travel returned now, than roll the dice as to whether the law will return it to them. They will know in their heart-of-hearts that the deal is not going to get any better - not through striking and not through the courts. So outwardly they'll express utter disgust at the offer but secretly they'll vote to accept it, relieved to see the whole thing over with.

Post-acceptance, BASSA reps will blame the "majority" that accepted the new deal and the very crew that voted to accept on the QT will join them in their vilification. Blame will squarely be laid at the feet of the un-named collective that accepted. And so the Reps and most crew (except the sacked and suspended) breathe a sigh of relief and live to fight another day.
