IMHO The PCCC would be very well advised to keep things relatively low key until the dispute is over. Why do you think BASSA are trying to goad them into going public?
When this dispute is well and truly over, then the PCCC will know the landscape of future industrial relations, and will be best able to maximise on the catastrophic self destruction BASSA has wrought upon itself. This is a long game, and the PCCC already seem to have a sense of perspective that BASSA don't.
It's not about today, or tomorrow, but about cabin crew being represented by intelligent realists, who live and work in the real world, and who can work with the people who pay our wages for the mutual benefit of both company and employee. It's a symbiotic relationship - without BA there is no cabin crew, something BASSA are hell bent on disproving, despite Mr Darwin's best efforts.
They may succeed and seize the moment, they may not. I sincerely hope they do.
All IMHO.
