You were working for the same junk wages about one contract ago.
You would think from the way you write that HP was one fine airline financially and operationally with a solid performance record. However, that is not the case.
For years and years, HP was the bottom of the barrel. That is until 2 Bankruptcies, a dysfunctional MEC, and 57% of the East Pilots "Let My Daddy Vote" mentality put USAirways Pilots where you used to be.
If staying at LOA93 junk and crap as you describe it, means more East guys/gals get their upgrade before you steal it from them, then it's money well spent.
