UPS vs. FedEx: Which Employer Pays Best? - Careers Articles

It's hard to believe the accuracy of any part of the story when they say FedEx pilots make, on average, twice as much as UPS pilots.

FedEx Avg. Annual Salary:$239,480 UPS Avg. Annual Salary: $121,739


I need to quit UPS. Will one of you guys write me a letter?

You need a letter to quit? That's weird.

I'm a wide body captain at FedEx. I wish that was our annual salary.

If you were a 777 F/O.. you might get close to that.. LOL

**only slightly tongue in cheek**

If they were that far off on the pilot salaries, I wonder how accurate the rest of the comparison can be. The person responsible for such shoddy research deserves the opportunity of finding a new job.

Most likely it's a typo. Probably should be 139k vs 239k. Still shoddy and still probably not accurate.

Well once again I find out I'm way below average...I need to go call my therapist.

Are you FedEx or UPS? :eek:

the lowest paid pilot on our list is at 4yr fo pay, this is over 140k in just salary. Not counting retirement. So this story could not possibly be accurate. Dont care personally but I would be willing to bet that with fdx's split payscale our average salary is higher than theirs.

My absolute bottom line guaranteed pay at UPS is $248,600 as a captain. Thats not including per diem, sick pay, benefits, etc. This article is bogus.
Of course this low figure could be advantageous in contract negotiations when we start talking about pay.

Once again the press has published an article based on inaccurate data from a unverified source about our personal business and got it all wrong !
"Never let the facts keep you from telling a good story!"

I was gonna say, all you UPS guys need to stop talking about how much you really make and start waving this flag around!

Maybe they are averaging in my pay $0.00. Myself and 108 others are dragging down the average.

Or the spectacular first year pay, the second year on RDG receiving only 37.5 credit hours, or the third year on furlough pay.
Overall I made more as a DC-10 FO at Gemini!!

Come on over to Bangkok! Life's good!
