This part is far from truth!  

...so you'll make more than HAA entry-level pay and not have to be away from the fam for 7/7/14/14. 

This isn't anywhere near correct!   A pilot's schedule is typicaly far less than 15 days off a month.   Trips are built, usually 3 or 4 days in a row, then home for a couple, then off on another trip.   Only real senior line holders will see 15 to 18 days off per month.  And, that is typically when they bid monthly lines with 5 day trips built into them.   The normal schedule is lucky to see 12 days off per month!   Which means you are working 19.  You don't come home every night since you overnight in a hotel somewhere other than your domicile.

Thus, you are away from the family lots more than someone working a 7 and 7, or 14 and 14.

Also, in HAA, a vast majority work where they live.  So, they are home everyday to see the family, and not away from them.

An airline schedule changes every month, generally.  Nothing to predict one month to the next.  HAA is a predictable schdule, easy to plan around month to month.

Travelling/Commuting eats up days off.  In the airlines, since you are typically working 3 or 4 day trips, you are commuting to/from work way more often than you are in a HAA schedule.   Thereforem more of your own time is wasted from the family to commute.
