For example. many would want a Virgin Atlantic/Easyjet travel swap. The Virgin guy could reasonbly commute on easyjet easyjet staff travel (upto 2 flights a week?) but for the easyjet guy, it would just be for a holiday maybe once a year on Virgin.

I realise that it's lovely to have reciprocal travel arrangements in place, but that kind of undermines the entire stratagy of low-cost, which is to disrupt/defeat the legacy carriers legacy.
If your company pays, a modest fee, you can have access to myID tickets, there is no need for reciprocal arrangements. We have access by paying, without offering anything. The only reason you don’t have them is because easyJet refuses to pay for it.
Many years ago, I worked for easyJet and the “confirmed staff travel’, was nothing more than standby as you were the first one to be kicked off, in case of overbooking, without any rights whatsoever.
They was also no staff travel after retirement at easyJet.
