I believe it’s a reduced pension for new joiners , it stays at 15% for guys already in . But for new pilots it will be 10%
Also income protection is now capped at 5 years , not sure what it was tbh.

From the top of my head I believe VS is a 4% rise which makes a year 1 FO around £72k (fixed flight pay of 16k per year ) probably add $12k for beer tokens on top of that .
