US Dollar Vs. Euro
1 Euro = 1.4661 U.S. dollars
If my math is correct, by taking the FDA to Paris, you will immediately suffer a 32% pay cut. The Fedex paycheck is issued in US dollars. Assuming (which could make an A$$ out of you and me) that you are not a member of Amway, you will be purchasing your food, clothes, utilities, gas, ect... in Paris. This appears to be a bad deal for the unlucky Fedex pilot who gets suckered into this FDA.
I hope that the US dollar rebounds soon or it's back to SO pay for all FO's and FO pay for the CA's. Just some food for thought.
1 Hong Kong dollar = 0.128745 U.S. dollars
At face value, this looks like a better deal. 7.8:1 is a good return, but I am sure that there is a higher cost/equalization for the goods and services.

When I travel, I try to use my CC's as much as possible. Some CC's will charge an Int'l fee if used abroad too.
