As always I probably miss the sarcasm in your post but I thought FedEx drivers made more money than UPS drivers? However, I think they also have to buy their trucks, maintain them and also provide (hire) replacement drivers when sick, on vacation, etc. So in the end maybe it sort of evens out?
As far as jumpseating - what about the other Purple birds? Airbus, 727s, etc. - do they have a minimum number of jumpseat in each airplane or does it differ from plane to plane? All MD11s, MD10s, and DC10s have either 0, some have 2 and a few have 5 jumpseats, correct?
At brown most airplanes have 4, MD11s have 5 and I think 747-400s 6 (cargo) or 10 (ex-pax birds). I hope I got it right.
Also, are your Airbuses joystick or yoke? All glass, correct?
