Hundredpercentplease - welcome to the real world of easyjet! The management could not give two monkeys about how much you are paid compared to the next guy. They are just congratulating themselves that they managed to con you and many others like you onto a scheme that resulted in their bonuses being increased. The only way to beat these idiots is to all pull in the same direction and have a good strong team through balpa. Remember, their gameplan is and always has been divide and conquer.
If you dont like the outcome of the talks, do what over 130 people did last year and leave! There are better jobs out there both in terms of pay and lifestyle.
