VK says:

I would expect a BASSA-proposed unprotected strike before the end of the month, Unite treading very carefully to inform members they risk being sacked, almost imperceptible effect on the BA Operation and several BASSA crew members sacked for not turning up for work before support for action peters out, and Unite assumes direct control of the Branches, and agrees a settlement with BA which will in some way involve some sort of pay increase for Mixed Fleet (the part MF plays in this is still not clear to me, but it's definitely significant in winning over Unite).

I still don't see the PCCC – Professional Cabin Crew Council playing a credible role in all this.
Very interesting prediction VK but I wonder if Unite will allow the strike to go ahead when it potentially risks being sued for unprotected strike damages by BA?

Are you postulating that Unite will say "No" in writing (as it did with WindowsGate) then BASSA will go ahead anyway and unofficially?
