This number sounds really high considering what is published about Fedex's payscale. This sound more like 5 or 6 yr pay.

This number sounds really high considering what is published about Fedex's payscale. This sound more like 5 or 6 yr pay. 2nd yr WB FO base pay 117 ( figure 1000 pay hours) plus intl override ( 4.50 per flt hr), plus intl per diem (2.65 TAFB). should be about 130K give or take a couple. So i was talking about what a FO in ANC flying intl only could make. gonna be about 120k flying domestic. This is just based on my own personal experience.

Overall our schedules aren't that bad, notwithstanding some horrible pairings we're forced to fly. Most guys with some seniority can get 4 or more weeks off in a row 3 or 4 times a year.

I will have to verify the above. I recall at least once a year, being able bid right and get 5-6 weeks off in a row. It is not unusual to get a month or more off every 2-3 months. But, it takes seniority to get the lines you need to be able to do it.


Actually, if you can get over staying up all night, it was a pretty great career. . . and once you turn 60 you can sleep all you want.

I have to agree with Drew. It takes more than just a little seniority to get the big blocks of days off frequently. You have to be able to bid and hold schedules that work at the beginning of the first month and at the end of the second month.

Vacation months also factor in with regard to time off. If you work it right you can parlay a two week vacation into 4-6 weeks off. I've been doing it for years even as junior as I've usually been.

Ranger and Drew, I was speaking for UPS. I'm not a Fedexer, unfortunately.

I've been at UPS less than 2 years and have never held a line. Right now I've got 23 of 26 days off (11-off, 3-on, 12-off). Just the way it worked out.

Not so unusual in my experience.

Are you smokin dope? I wish I know who you were. I'd black ball your ass sure as anything.

I guess they let just about any 4th Grade educated nimrod get a pilot’s license these days? But, then again, I guess most Marines have a hard time with grammar and sentence construction, too. :p

How would you go about black balling someone, fecav8r?
