Corrected for factual accuracy :cool:
But flying a 777 for half the money - careful. I'm on the 777 at FedEx and guys are making insane amounts of money. This is my best year ever and I'm not even trying. I'm in the right seat and have had a $60K month.. There are guys who have been extended on the road to 30 days or more and are making 6 figures on a single trip. But even at straight time we are on par with the majors. There IS money in cargo. |

To start - glad you guys are moving cargo and making money.

We have been at peak levels since March. Draft, AVA, vacation buyback - every type of extra $$$ has been available since then. If you get into the intl system and say you are willing to be extended...game on.
And I don't know if you were being sarcastic or not about the pay. I was responding to a guy who said we (FedEx and UPS) fly for half the pay of you guys. Anyway, I hope you guys don't furlough a whole lot and that everything recovers quickly. |

Just out of curiosity, how much cargo (weight) are you guys carrying on one of your cargo trips?

this site has some sweet visuals showing how the heavies are seeing significantly higher utilization than the rest of the fleet:
