At annual guarantee of 884 hours, it's only $44.20. You must be flying a lot more than most.
I'd be interested in knowing the number that's required to match the first-15-year earnings of a typical FedEx pilot versus a typical Delta pilot. Having the same top hourly rate won't cut it, as the Delta pilot reaches that top tier 3 years before the FedEx pilot maxes out. Our top rate would have to be higher in order to achieve even the same compensation in the first 15 years.
Maybe we should be looking to make our 12-year rates Delta plus a nickel.
