You might be right. Sounds like being a FedEx FO is a pretty good gig - beating all but the whoriest of SWA captains in terms of gross pay and blowing SWA captains away in terms of pay per days worked. And then being a more senior FedEx captain sounds like it’s an even better deal.Originally Posted by symbian simian
Absolutely, making first year CA pay ISO FO pay, huge! But I think that after being on reserve for 5 years, flying with FOs senior to them, who probably made just as much due to better seniority, the glow might have dulled.

Airline: FedEx
Fleet: B777
Payscale: year 3 FO
W-2 wage: 620K (Worked extensions in my favor)
Block hours flown 160 FO and maybe 100 RFO ?? 12 total landings in 2021
Days worked: 118 but realistically much less cut days off both ends with double DHDs
Commuter status: Commute but only do deadhead front and back trips so Not applicable
A family member of mine who is a 777 CA made 1.1m… Dont think he will post here
But we’re SWA pilots. What we don’t make in cold, hard cash, we make up for in our fun-luvving culture and pride in knowing we’re better pilots because we fly a lot, lot more.Airline: FedEx
