Depends on what you're shipping. Most things with the inter-airline discount on FedEx cost about the same as USPS. Only on FedEx, it's gets there faster. Which is funny, because if you go to the USPS to ship, there's a good chance it's going to get there on a FedEx plane ANYWAY.
And I don't know what the numbers are NOW, but it used to be that the FedEx pilot group benefitted MORE from the jumpseat agreements on the passengers carriers than the other way around. Hence the generous discount they give to OAL's to ship on them. It was another way for them to reciprocate.
