I’ve been here half of the fifty years of FedEx. We are more divided then ever before…..and only getting worse by the day.

Tread carefully NoWork. You don’t want to get banned again.

NoWork, LuckyvsGood, OncewasGood (all the same person) can’t help themselves. They have to make their superiority and self righteousness known to all us regular folk.

If I recall though - they were also self admittedly jumping on the bandwagon and stated every one else is doing it, so I’m going to get mine too … or something along those lines. What a hypocrite.

What am I missing? A 12 year delta 737 captain rate is 336 and a 12 year Fdx 777 captain rate is 326. That’s $10 more for the 737 captain than the 777 captain.

So they want to be sure we are 100% before they actually put forth the Strike Vote.
We have been as angry/worried as we are this week. The time is NOW for a strike vote.

A FedEx 777 captain flying his line and nothing else should be making more than a DL 737 CA, and it should be by a healthy margin.
10 year Fedex WB Captain makes $319/hr. Add $10/hr international override, that’s $329/hr.

10 year Delta 737 Captain makes $330/hr, not counting international override, if any.

Fedex person might make a bit more in Per Diem.

Both people flying an 80 hour line will make very similar money.

Pretty sad a 737 Captain makes about the same as a 777 one.

You point is technically correct but you are comparing an 8 year old FDX contract with a DAL contract that was approved a month ago.

what difference does that make? The point is he makes $335 an hour flying a 737 domestic, and I make $335 an hour flying international. We deserve much, much, more….

I keep pointing this out but it bears repeating, this is how pattern bargaining works. It’s a fair comparison. This is what the NC is doing at the table, showing what current market today demands for airline pilots. If ual and AAL surpass delta, then they becomes the market rate. Don’t take it personal when someone points out the delta 737 rate is the same as our WB rate or that the JetBlue 320 rate is $40 more than our NB rate (both true). That’s how it’s supposed work and the way we should want it to work, presumably if it means we are next to set the market.
