The only improvements in lifestyle is a guaranteed 3 days off after some flights, still a lot of trips with only 2 days off after and no more than a maximum of 1 block of standby/reserve allocated at roster production ( no more than 7 days per block). However trips can still be replaced by standby blocks at the live stage.
Other improvements 2.5% pay rise this year and 4% next year.
