Will a Pilots Strike Cripple UPS?

..
"According to employment website Glassdoor.com, the average pilot in the U.S. earns just under $122,000 a year, plus benefits. As we learned earlier this month, though, the average pilot working for FedEx (NYSE:FDX) earns closer to $234,000 a year. And thanks to a new contract, FedEx's pilots salaries could climb by more than 25% over the next few years.

If you'd find it hard to scrape by on just $234,000 a year... how does the idea of earning $298,397 grab you?

Brown with envy
I'll tell you how it makes one group of pilots feel: jealous. Downright green with envy -- or "Brown with envy" might be closer to the mark.

You see, the pilots at FedEx rival UPS (NYSE:UPS) are not exactly jumping with joy over the prospect of earning barely half what their technicolor rivals rake in at FedEx. According to Glassdoor, the UPS pilots it has surveyed earn closer to $168,000 a year, or just 56% of what FedEx pilots could soon be earning."

We (brown) should be using this article in our negotiations! LOL!

Will a Pilots Strike Cripple UPS? -- The Motley Fool

I'd be very surprised to learn that the average FedEx pilot makes $234,000.

I've been a widebody Capt. for the last 10 years and don't earn very much more than that ( I seldom fly overtime or carryover, I never sell back my Vacations).

Back ... at least FedEx realizes that we're worth MUCH more than UPS pilots. Good luck in your contract negotiations.


:eek:

Earnings are the total compensation, not simply salary
