It seems that Unite and BA management have come up with a solution to the seemingly never ending cabin crew dispute that has caused travel disruption and untold damage to BA's brand over the last two years.
The FT reports that the agreement will be put to Unite's 10,000 cabin crew members in a ballot, with a recommendation to accept.
The ballot will start next week with the result due by the end of June.

BA Strike Update - BA Hires Psychologist
British Airways has brought in a psychologist to try to help to resolve the seemingly never ending dispute with its cabin crew.
Clinical psychologist Mark Hamlin has met with senior management from BA and Unite.
Hamlin is a specialist in dealing with situations where there is a "fragility of trust".
Whatever his fee is, I am sure he will earn every penny of it!

BA Strike Update - Check Your Insurance
Unsurprisingly those who sell travel insurance have been advising the hapless customers of BA (who are fearful of being caught up in strike action) to buy travel insurance.
All very well, if you are on commission for selling such products. However, the hapless customers of BA would do well to check any policy very thoroughly first in order to ensure that it actually does cover flight delays/cancellations brought about by industrial action.
The customers of BA would also do well to remember that those whose flights are cancelled altogether should be entitled to a full refund/reroute under EU law.
Good luck!

BA Strike Update - Another Strike
Unite have announced the result of the strike ballot of British Airways cabin crew. As expected they have voted for yet another strike (8 to 1 majority, apparently).
This means that there is the prospect of strikes over the Easter holidays.
As ever, it is the long suffering customers of BA who will suffer in the short term. In the long term, the cabin crew will find themselves out of a job as the BA brand is irreparably damaged.
