UPS pilots may make more. But there are currently pilots on furlough because there is no limit on how much management pilots can fly. So guess who's picking up the slack with guys on the street? Nice to see you promote unity though.
FedEx guys have blended rates. Borderline LGBP. Is that what you want?
What's the exchange rate right now? How about taxes? Are you certain AF/KLM pilots make more? And how's the health of the company? I believe they're laying off 5000 employees? Parking WBs?
I'll take a healthy employer instead.
SWA guys that make the biggest bucks aren't flying their butts off, they are taking advantage of their work rules.
What does UPS' management pilots flying have to do with DPA? Are you trying to make some link to independants and furlough? I'd think that was beneath you.
Blended rates are coming. If you don't want them, you better tell ALPA, but be prepared to be overruled.
In Europe, many things are different, but AF/KLM pilots still make more than us.
We all want a healthy employer. What does that have to do with anything. We are all at the healthy employer.
