Those boxes look better every day.
Interesting stat. So by comparison, FedEx pilots are vastly underpaid for the contribution they make to the company. Not saying one or the other is better.. but I find your quote interesting.
The one thing you can not compare though.. and I know some may roll eyes and laugh.. is the travel perk. My wife and I have been all over the world on DAL... and while you have limited benefit for that on SWA.. it is zero on FedEx... Like I said, not sayin that one is better than the other... just sayin'
But as you say.. almost every headache I have had too has been passenger related, but those are few and far... far between..
