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.
(This isn't necessarily aimed at you Gunfighter) Based on a quick check of APC UPS only has one rate. So while the percentage increase isn't sparkling, the fact that ALL their pilots will make this rate (again your point about ²/3 of their fleet is WB) brings our rates into even more stark relief...
