1. We don't fly much over holidays due to the nature of our schedule compared to pax airlines. So the odds of you getting them off is BIGGLY increased compared to a pax hauler.
2.) Most of your career is on WB pay rates so even working a min schedule you will make substantially more than your pax friend who works his min schedule.
3. We have a lot of trips that start or end or both with a paid ticket to wherever the trip starts or from where it ends to your house. For commuters this is gold compared to pax airlines. A lot of the time you can leave a day later than the trip is built to go to wherever or you can get home a day or more earlier than it is built on paper. You are still paid the full value of hoe the trip is built on paper. So your getting paid to be home for 1-3 days on those trips.
4. We have a 9% DC retirement and a pension. This is substantially more than what any pax haulers offer.
5. If you work extra a FedEx you will make much more than your pax brother on NB pay. Once again NB vs WB pay.
6. Our vacation rules and pay are tops in the industry and you can use it to get a LOT of time off or make a LOT of money.
7. If you are on a fleet with a open time you can make your schedule whatever you want it and if you so desire make crazy money.
8. If you live in base it makes either job easier and allows you to make extra money by not be gone much more.
