My uncle worked 9 months last year (5 weeks of vacation equals 3 months off easily) and made 487k. That is working 14-15 days a month not selling himself 20-22 days a month such as whats required at others to make this coin. Just FYI
Just to broaden your SA window a little bit, you are aware UPS has a contract that's very similar to FX with higher pay scales and guarantee? And there are guys at DAL doing the same as your uncle at FedEx - I'm sure it's the same at UPS, AA, and UAL. These guys are the exceptions, not the rule.
