To be honest, the offsets aren't much:
Reserve allocations moves from a fixed number to a ratio (may actually decrease the number of reserves)
The requirement for a day off after a late finish changes from 2200 to 2230 (It'll only affect a tiny number of flights and come on do you really need a whole day off for a sign off half an hour later?)
No sick leave for calling in sick on a Sim, Ep's or open time flying until you've actually done it (I feel this upsets some because it'd put an end to a rort they have currently going on)
Losing a day off when volunteering to work on a day off (probably the only offset that actually is a real offset, it'll mean less people will volunteer for extra work, but at the end of the day all it will mean is you don't get a D/O placed over a reserve or a AV day, again, really is it a big enough thing to forgo all that backpay or threaten PIA over? I know were all pissed off at AJ and Co, but come on don't lose sight of the big picture, there are some sections of this company that have real grievances that need to be sorted out in industrial agreements, but SH isn't one of them
