There is no LTU flight crew deal. There is still one for the cabin crew though. The current flight crew deal is the air berlin one, which applies to all pilots, no matter from which company they originally came. There was a special deal for some high seniority FOs, however that is gone by now as well as they have been trained to be captains.
Anyway, longhaul is by now pretty much evenly operated by ex LTU and AB crews, and all of them are rated on both the A320 and A330.
