THIS IS A PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT:

The following ACP poster “aviatorhi” is either:

1. a troll

2. management figure

3. a highly disgruntled duschbag who didn’t get hired after his FedEx, UPS, United interview.

His comments should be avoided at all costs.

Getting good leverage/ pressure on the DHL and Amazon types is the answer. The Delta FedEx contracts aren’t because the corporations are nice guys , if they could get away with paying pilots 50% less they would.

That’s the same argument made for decades in the regional industry; yet now they have no problem remaining profitable and paying new pilots $95k first year.....
We’ve been fed lies for so long that it’s now a common belief.

ABX, Atlas and Sourhern all display poor management. By keeping salaries low.....more bonuses. Good luck filling seats.

First year pay is a pretty God d@mn short timeline when you're talking about a career move.

Sure, enjoy your 95K for the first year, only to see "your" flying shifted over to some other group a few years later.
