What pressure cooker. It seems to me that the pressure cooker has blown its valve. Four unions at each others throats says it all about this dispute. That unsavory offering by Amicus/CC89 shows that they are running around like headless chickens. Their rhetoric is intimidatory and BASSA have all but lost the will to live - let alone the plot. It is a hopeless mess been bought about by stiff necked intransigence, self serving reps and a group of reps who haven't got a clue.
Unite are mastering this dispute right now having got BA to offer a reasonable solution. No other result is possible and the sooner everyone recognizes it the better. The best is now on offer and it should be accepted.
The idea that they can get control of BA is stupid beyond words. BA have had enough of unions trying to run the airline - now the experts are back in control. If the unions don't like it there is always the knackers yard.
