Some work rules are substandard but compare apples to apples: this contract was ratified when there were less than 15 A/C on property and barely over 100 pilots on a first CBA iteration. Comparing this contract to a COMAIR or Eagle or many others is not apples to apples and COMAIR is gone and Eagle's future is uncertain.
Also, expectations of growth or advancement is not an excuse for poor FO rates. Especially when you work for HK.

I always wondered what would have happened if the American Eagle pilots would have gone to AMR with an offer to fly those jets for say 75% of current American salaries. Then gone home, put their feet up and wait for the calls from the Allied group. It still would have been a pay raise, better working conditions and hiring policy at American has always been tilted towards college educated or military trained officer pilots. Why support a group that will not support you?
