Unite has said that said the BA management's last offer in the year-long dispute could not be recommended to members.
"I am therefore contacting the company with a view to reopening discussions to seek to achieve a recommendable settlement to be put to cabin crew," Tony Woodley, Unite's joint-general secretary, said.
A planned ballot of staff on the offer was suspended last week because a number of cabin crew representatives felt they could not recommend it, a union spokeswoman said.
The dispute, originally centred on cuts to pay and staffing levels, has brought strikes costing the airline 150 million pounds
BA had last month described the offer, which had been based on previous proposals, the details of which have not been made public, as fair.
The head of Unite's cabin crew branch BASSA had told members in an email that BA had made enough changes to an earlier offer to warrant a ballot to see if it was acceptable.
But in an apparent turnaround the union spokeswoman said there were now problems in its "totality".
A key sticking point in resolving the dispute has been the airline's decision to remove staff travel perks for cabin crew who took part in the strikes.
