Comparing 220 to UPS is like comparing RJ rates to a DL 767. The smallest plane at UPS is a 757 and makes up only 1/3 of the fleet. The other 2/3 are all WB. The most accurate DL : UPS comparison would be A330 to UPS.
FedEx has bands for NB (757 and 737) and WB, so the FedEx NB rate could be compared to DL 737/320/757. Nothing flown by the large cargo carriers is comparable to the A220 based on the industry norms of size and range.
