Just because it’s fun to imagine…
My FedEx friend with 10 years seniority was awarded 767 captain to sit at about 70% seniority in MEM. APC tells me that’s 319/hr, same as 777. If I understood correctly, awarded training slots are bid on each month. If you hold an upgrade award, you decide whether you do or don’t want to train next month and seniority dictates if you get what you want.
At 10 years, they also get 29 days of vacation to our 21, and theirs pay 6:00/day to our 3:45/3:30. Oh, and they get touching trips paid and can be guaranteed 48 hours off before vacation starts.
Sounds like some stuff to aspire to.
