I don't think so BG, BASSA had a history of trying to railroad BA, there was going to be no amicable settlement to this one. The lines needed to be redrawn, there is no place anymore for unions that put their own agenda ahead of the survival of the company. As was said earlier, WW played his part very well and backed BASSA into a very tight corner. KW then provided a way out, providing the original basic BA objectives were met. WW didn't get to head up IAG by accident, he is extremely good at what he does. If you look at BA's wishlist and BASSA's wishlist, the victor is clear.
