Why would you do that? I mean I like to eat ice cream, but I would not do it for a living if the pay was peanuts. I work at UPS and love to fly. I do not do it as a hobby and will not continue to do it without a 40% pay raise. Mgt is highly versed in negotiations and pilots will never be overpaid. CPAs, lawyers, and other highly trained and educated professions make what FedEx pilots do. DO you think they are all overpaid? This is America and you get what you negotiate.
