[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 2325411, member: 12508"] So, you are a pilot where? I'd agree with the 70% ex-military rate, and coming up the "hard way" by instructing and then working for a low-paying commuter or flying freight in a Beech 99 or AT to build hours isn't easy. The KC-135, KC10, C17, C130 types have it made, with all of that multi and turbine time. That said, our pilots have a sweet deal. The highest pay in the industry and very few cycles. Yes, they fly the back of the clock, but so do many international pilots. I know a few who came up the hard way and are now captains making serious money. However, FedEx isn't just the pilots or management, a fact that our "leaders" forget. The main reason the pilots went union was that Fred was trying to jack them around, and they weren't taking it. The in-house union was a failure, so they want ALPA, and never looked back. We hourlies subsidize their high pay and incredible benefits, which none of them will discuss with us. Wonder why that is? Yes, it's hard to become a pilot with a major airline, but at FedEx we get the :censored: end of the stick while they eat cake. [/QUOTE]
