"Talks update.
For the first time in over a year, BASSA reps have now been able to meet with British Airways. The talks were positive but there still remain a number of difficult areas. Though it must be acknowledged that given both the time that has gone by and the acrimonious situation that exists, initial progress was encouraging, but there still remains a lot of work to be done in a short period of time.
Lenny McClusky and Keith Williams will rejoin the talks next week.
Next week is all important.
An extension to our industrial action period was agreed, however this expires on Monday 9th May. So prior to that day we must have either reached a solution we believe will be acceptable to you, or call strike action.
Realistically given the weekend, this must be done by Friday night on the 6th May.
By the end of next week we will either call strike dates or have an offer of resolution for you."
Does this mean we will hear something on Friday or before, or is Monday the "Big Day"? Are there other possibilities?
