Rock - you beat me to it. Just posted it in "cargo" section...

We (brown) should be using this article in our negotiations... :-)

...

If you'd find it hard to scrape by on just $234,000 a year... how does the idea of earning $298,397 grab you?

Brown with envy
I'll tell you how it makes one group of pilots feel: jealous. Downright green with envy -- or "Brown with envy" might be closer to the mark.

You see, the pilots at FedEx rival UPS (NYSE:UPS) are not exactly jumping with joy over the prospect of earning barely half what their technicolor rivals rake in at FedEx. According to Glassdoor, the UPS pilots it has surveyed earn closer to $168,000 a year, or just 56% of what FedEx pilots could soon be earning"

...

I say we should be asking for 56% more + 1 !!!
