Done my share of pissing people off on message boards all over the internet and BBS systems for 20+ yrs.I've made coments here that got my ass handed to me.
Gunfighter is always on the union board.
YES.
I am ready to drop the Single Carrier to keep my schedule and HBA's
If you look at the Cat 4 pay scale the captain starts out at 120K and the FO starts out at 50K? this is BS it should be at least 50% of captain pay!

Actually if you look at the contracts of the carriers you mentioned you will find that FO pay is 60-65% of Captains pay.
Somewhere a long time ago I said that if the HBA was given up, it would have to be re-purchased if you want it back. You should have never given it up.
Once you open the door a crack on limiting, reducing, or changing the scope of HBA's you'll be fighting for the rest of your job here to close that door again.
HBA's for all or nothing. I made a mistake the first time. I won't make that same mistake again.

I agree 100% with you I didn't get the chance to compare but still our FO pay is well below Airline Standards which is why we need to get the pay up otherwise were gonna start losing alot more SIC due to the slow upgrade and lack of HBA's
Once a bid period is too much. I can see it now: 6 on, 3 off, 8 on, 5 off...that's just wrong.That's a little different than what was insinuated in ACATerry's post. Three times a year wouldn't be too bad depending on what the rest of the language is.
I agree with your analogy of shutting an open door. It'll be interesting to see how many others feel that way. Cash might persuade a lot of people to feel elsewise.
