[QUOTE=Norcal-G4;106613]I'm looking for a little advice from some of you well seasoned FedEx or UPS pilots.

I'm trying to figure out if I should continue with my great corporate flying job or make the move to FedEx or UPS.

If you were in my shoes and knowing what you all know about cargo flying, what would you do??

Would you consider taking the big initial pay cut and make the move to FedEx or UPS??


Not a cargo guy here, but spent 30 years flying heavy Boeings. I don't think you can ever make up the money you would lose by changing when you figure what the value of the money would be if you invested 75K of what you earn each year for the next ten years. It could take that long before your airline earnings catch what you are making now and would likely be increased to over that time. In the mean time if you have job security and like your boss I doubt you will be treated with near as much respect at any airline as you get flying corporate..........
