Current Delta Pay Rates vs. Fedex
Just talked to my buddy at Delta. Their 777 Capt rates are going to $270.25 01Jan15. That's without 10% profit sharing up to 2.5bil and 20% over (which it looks like they will make this year). It also looks like they'll be getting 3% right away if they get a new contract (but that's not for sure).
So whatever FedEx offers it's still way behind the Delta plus a nickel
Oh wait we'll have KCM so I'm sure it's worth it.

Harder? That was never the justification for a/c based pay scales. The concept began as pay based on productivity. You move more pax or freight per flight, you make more.
There certainly are some good aspect of a single rate. Pay based on productivity was around long, long before UPS started flying aircraft - so it's not like the concept just appeared because someone decided big planes are hard to fly.

As I said before I am pretty sure our guys cost the company the same per pilot as your guys, any evidence to the contrary would be appreciated.
