BASSA's list of 'demands' is just pissing in the wind. The dispute is over. Finished. That much was obvious when BASSA and Unite knew they didn't have a legal leg to stand on, consequently they daren't actually declare strike dates. If they are daft enough to do so, any strike is unprotected, and that has dawned, very slowly, on their members: strike = best chance of dismissal. The militant tendency wouldn't dare strike now. All noise and no substance.

BA agreeing to extend BASSA's little window of comfort by 28 days just moves any theoretical strike past Easter and the Royal Wedding. BA did that for BA's benefit, not BASSA's. Coincidentally, it allows more time for Unite's Len to slowly break the news to the 'faithfull' that it is all over.

The dinosaurs have been comprehensively outmanoeuvred.

BA 10 - BASSA 0
or, alternatively
BA 10 - DH minus 3
