'shall watch with interest the manoeuvring at EasyJet'

Best get some cocoa and a sleeping bag then.

Balpa have been 'helping' easyjet for over 3 years now with no visible result. How much in membership fees will they have collected? At least £1 million I would guess. Not a bad return for turning up at the odd meeting and arguing here and there. What is their incentive to finish the 'negotiations'? I imagine a great number of easyJet Balpa members will quit Balpa as soon as a 'deal' is finalized. Balpa know that; so why not drag it out as long as possible to keep the 1%/member coming in?

Frisbee (like a discus but more fun)
