Good post, let me give you something to shoot for, as HAL's contract is now going on 4 years old. We set the bar for the DAL contract shortly after ours and we negotiate a new one in 1 year and are aiming to set the bar higher....

HAL ... 4.25 (industry leading now up to 5)
401k Match and eligibility:100% first 2% then 50% for next 3% for a total of 5% match

Sick calls paid at 100% if it brings you under the 70 hour guarantee. If over 70 hours you must use PTO. See above.
Sick is at 7.50 hrs/mo, max 1080 hours accrued. IF you use more than 270 consecutive hours for sick call, then the accrual rate increases to 10hr/mo upon return until your sick back is whole again.

Fully Paid
Currently pushing close to a 6 year upgrade. Planned growth at 3-4 aircraft per year.
Growth and career potential about the same.
VERY IMPORTANT, and many pilot's don't look closely at this is our medical benefits are amazing... co-pays are a max of 10% of the doctor's fee for the visit (usually ends up being $12-18), and maxed at $25, most brand name prescription drugs are $5-8/month, Emergency room $50, Hospital admittance $250, with a $5000
LIFETIME, not annual, limit of out of pocket costs for a medical condition. Monthly cost for a family plan with dental and vision is about $150.
Good info, It's good for people to see what they're getting into. I also hope you guys will have the unity to get what you deserve! As I hope we do the same in 2015 to catch up to the UAL/DAL/AA contracts..
