In his letter to Brendan Barber, Willie stipulated that "All parts of the union, Unite, BASSA and Amicus, must recommend acceptance."
Has any part of the union actually recommended acceptance?
Unite have said that the deal is the best that can be achieved through negotiation, which is another way of saying that, if people want a better deal they'll have to strike for it.

And BASSA have said...

It was decided after much debate that there are enough changes to BA’s original proposal to warrant going back to you again for you to decide whether BA have come up with an offer that is acceptable to end this dispute. It is now up to you, if you vote against the offer the dispute goes on if you vote to accept the dispute is over.

Neither sounds to me like a recommendation to accept.
Thats because as you are not Cabin Crew you are not in possession of the facts - yes BASSA have recommended the deal
