Anyone know what the conditions (ie. number of persons and do you have a choice) on which family members are entitled to reduced travel fares if a pilot with Qlink? Secondly what are the reduced fares (10%, 15%) of standard fare and finally does it encompass regional or domestic and international travel as well. Attempted to find in the EBA but came up with nothing.

Ask them at the interview.
As far as my memory serves, it's immediate family only, and you need to have informed the airline ahead of time of your 'designated list'.

Firstly, you will need to wait for six months to be eligible.
Generally, you can nominate a travel companion, or spouse and children. Parents, and brothers and sisters if no companion nominated, get reduced benifits. The 10% fare sounds great until you realize that it was based on the full economy fare, and then had taxes and fuel levies added.
You may find that you can get a positive space seat retail for very little more than a subload staff travel one. For example BN to SY, ML or CS is about $65 one-way After seven years, or with a command, you will be able to list for business class international. So don't hold your breath.
Sorry if this dampens your enthusiasm, however staff travel is not quite as good as it used to be.
