Reading between the lines, the return of ST ("over WW's dead body") is the item that makes this an "honourable" deal.
BASSA have (in their view) an element of revenge in that they perceive WW will be unhappy.
What they are (perhaps conveniently) missing is that ST will be returned only in exchange for a sea-change in industrial relations.
In my view, ST removal was always meant as a strike deterrent, not as a punishment. No need for such a policy going forward if industrial relations are finally normalised.
Once again, sound strategy from BA, with BASSA seemingly missing the point.
