Fact 8 & 9 are exactly spot on, and why a lot of people are finding greener pastures, both Captains and FOs.
You are correct about your statement regarding Fact 7. Most pilots don't really care. However, Hulas cares. From his point of view, Fact 7 is accurate. Better contract means expenses goes up. It is not about who is mad at who and what pilot ever denied another the privilege of the jump seat. It is about the big picture (MONEY). Fallow the money! Keep your personal fights aside when making career decisions.
