Just spoke with my neighbor, accountant with FDX and he and his family are moving to Hong Kong in a few weeks. I asked how things were going and the conversation led to what the company is doing for the "other" employees (non-pilot).

Move Package
Company leased apartment
Transportation allowance (car lease)
School DEPOSIT $65,000 and $15,000 a year
Adjustment in pay for cost of living
And of course TAXES paid for...

No surprise that the company takes care of some of their employees...but when you have guys like Bob negotiating on our behalf and tells the company that the pilots can afford international schooling because HE pays about the same to send his kids to private school in Memphis you got to wonder...

BWP...out
