Able to achieve for what, about a year or so? Say what you want, the AVERAGE CAPT GUARANTEE at $250,000/YR (end of contract) would have been very difficult to achieve. Reminisce about the "good old days" if you want, (and that's what is was, days not years), but the FULL PACKAGE then was not as good as they have now. I point out the AVERAGE GUARANTEE because I'm about to get screwed AGAIN with this age 65 ruling. My career advancement will slow to a crawl so the dude who made "$312" can stay for another 5 years. You could give the AVERAGE CAPT here a 150% RAISE and we still wouldn't catch those guys! Would I switch now, NO. Do they owe us anything for the "good ole DAYS" contract, HECK NO! We were NEVER THERE...Originally Posted by Airbum
$335 vs ups's $255 (same assumptions) using the 757/767 rate. That smallest plane ups flys. The hourly rate at UPS is nowhere near what the pax have been able to achieve. The rest of the contract items such as schedules, medical, vacation etc are difficult to compare directly. I'm with you all the way on whoever can raise the bar.
P.S. If you think we were, post our OLD CONTRACT. I burned mine...
Perspective: A 3rd year FO at UPS/Fedex makes more GUARANTEED than the top A320 CAPTAIN here.
A 4th year FO makes more than a 757/767 CAPTAIN. Damn that hurts! I commend those guys for giving us something to shoot for...
