Basically the trainers pay was adjusted to be more in line with the recent changes on the line, specifically hourly pay, which includes sim time. So in effect no real change compared to the line.
Sim credits have gone from 4 hrs to 5.5 hrs. The net effect of this is that it makes it possible for TRI's and TRE's to get overtime, whereas before it was almost impossible if you had more than 3 or 4 sims per month.
There was also an insignificant increase to the rate paid per duty above 12 training duties per month.
All in all it is definitely an increase. The trouble is that it doesn't actually address the problem which is the workload trainers are under. Only one thing will fix that. More trainers, which means more money.

p.s I see on the portal that management have decided to make a positive step toward reducing trainers workload. Minimum line training sectors have been reduced by 4. That should make it a safer airline.
