If I'm not mistaken, delta 737 rates are on par with Southwest's. As far as FedEx and UPS, you can't compare them to passenger airlines. It is a totally different operation. They get paid more because those companies make more, plus the type of operation they do commands more pay (night flying, weeks away from home, etc.)
I wouldn't try debating on here, APC tends to be the vocal milant minority as the passing of the Delta TA showed. If the TA is reasonably close to Delta's, it'll pass with ease. There's just too much money at risk. Doubt UNICAL pilots will be as militant as the US Air guys who have cost themselves hundreds of thousands of dollars because of their egos
