Well, this won't count for much on either thread, but that is a balanced view and I bet BA would sit down and talk around it. But it is getting Bassa/Amicus to the table as we are a lay rep driven union and that bit is down to BA and Unite to agree.
There is some in there, that was offered before, but that doesn't matter now. Bassa will deliver action and that action will cost BA; it will not stop the operation, but it is still a something that it will want to avoid, but not at all costs.
BA has achieved what they wanted; MF is with you. Mr Walsh has moved on and up and the new incumbent will want to settle. The negotiation will be about on how much you can maintain in that settlement, but it is how you get to that negotiation.
