I'm afraid that as long as Balpa's attitude is reflected by the likes of Flaps 1 you can not expect people to believe they will achieve anything.
People are not joining Balpa because Balpa have been totally ineffective over the last few years at Easyjet (even though they profess otherwise), and as we see above this looks like being the way things will stay.
If Balpa had stood by it's guns once or twice in the past people might be persuaded but at the last minute it became roadshows with both Balpa and management pushing the view.......'actually this isn't a bad deal so we recommend it'.
'.......Errrr but how come last week you were vehemently against it?'
Not exactly a brilliant way of convincing people you mean what you say!
