We don't have as many KoolAid drinkers here as you at FedEx seem to. Plus, our contract openers for 12 year captain pay were $265 an hour--- not an anemic figure of under $225 that your bold negotiating girly-men dreamed up.
So, ya wanna trade work rules? And vacation rules? And deadhead rules?
My point is that a contract is a PACKAGE. It's not just pay. You guys have made more per hour than we have for quite a while now. But I'd still take my end of the year W-4 to a comparable captain at your place. And no, I don't do very much overtime flying.
