Hello all,

While comparing the pay rates of different airlines on this website I noticed that both FDX and SWA start off at the same rate. Over the years FDX always stays 10-15 dollars an hour higher with the max being $190 for a 12 yr SWA Capt and $206 for a 15 yr FDX WB Capt. I realize that thats about an extra $1100 a month but other than the money what advantage would you FDX pilots say there is to flying for Fed over SWA. Plus considering the through-the-night hours FDX flies would you say that $1100 or so is still worth it when you're making $180k a yr anyway? I dont really understand the airline A/B plans so does the difference lie there or does it just come down to a matter of preference (i.e. people vs boxes, locations, plane color etc)

Thanks
