Default Fedex TA will not match UPS 'TILL JAN08

The Fedex TA will not match UPS CONTRACT until January 2008.

The UPS Payscales are higher than Fedex TA until Jan08, even more, UPS is already using a trip rig 3.75 to 1, this makes their monthly bid Guaranty of 75 hard hours, paid 13 times a year....rather than Fedex average of 8 months of 70 and 4 months of 90.Fedex gets paid only 12 times a year.

Do the math (75*13) UPS 975 hours a year VS (8*70+4*90) 920 hours a year for Fedex. So UPS MIN PAY is higher by 55 hours a year. This is off course, minimun pay.

Oh, well. There's always someone with a faster car, longer d**k, or a bigger paycheck. Get over it.

True if you fly the B727 for FEDEX, you are underpaid, in other words, your d**k is much smaller than a Brown 727 driver.

They have some ugly ones, but they get 12 % B fund, obra capped A Fund, higher guarantee a month, similar working rules including 3.75 to 1 duty rig and many other good staff.

Point being, we did not get an Industry Standard deal, like our union leader are making believe.

I would wear the Hat for a 12% a year B fund, with my name on it, capped at
IRS limits, $220,000 this year. Exactly 13,800 more a year than our B fund, plus their $90,000 a year benefir A Fund.Not so bad that Brown color after all.

Right, like them positioning on company jumpseats, versus us on commercial carriers? Or a multitude of other rules? FWIW the UPS guys in my Guard unit think we have some pretty nice things in our TA.

I agree, we do after JAN 2008. BUT Agency Shop, after grandfethering non-members is an insult. Making dEviation money taxable for Union and IRS purposes is a Concessionary move, retro pay half of UPS....no so good.
