Default FDX 757 Capt or 777 FO

OK, I know I'll work less days as a 777 FO, but what has more pay potential, a 55% 777 FO or an 85% 757 CAPT?

Bid pack avg BLG 777 include intl oride F/O but food is expensive. VS RLG 75 CAP.
QOL can be more important than $ IMHO. Domestic short hall ( can be brutal hub turns) or could be ok at your seniority multiple legs probably night, vs long haul intl which can have some nice long lay overs RFO duties? Or time zones changes that are also brutal. Do you commute? Married? Kids? Ever flown across the pond or into the PAC? More than $ my friend. so ha ha bid what you want to fly.

I guess 10k more on the 757....AND you will also get to go to the Grands and Greats in Feb after being up all night with a new hire. 90% of us have signed for a jet in a former life. Overrated IMHO.

And you'll always know which a-hole is going to be the left seat.

Just curious, but does that other 10% mean BEFORE FedEx had a TPIC requirement?

I'm pretty sure there's at least one way to log TPIC that doesn't involve signing for a jet..
