[QUOTE="worldwide, post: 1077936, member: 2193"] Make sure you are comparing apples and apples and have yopur facts straight. FDX pilots do NOT make 3-4 times what SWA pilots make. Some facts: -SWA flies smaller aircraft - 737 verus Fedex flying larger aircraft, including widebodies -What year FO is your buddy at SWA? A 3rd year FO at SWA makes $106.50/hr. A 3rd year FO at FDX flying a 757 makes $109/hour -It can be argued that night flying is more dangerous and disruptive to the system than day flying -SWA pilots are represented by their own union, the Southwest Airline Pilots' Association while Fedex pilots belong to the much larger ALPA. ALPA is the world’s largest pilots union, representing more than 51,000 pilots at 35 airlines in the United States and Canada -Top Captain pay at SWA is $214 for flying a narrow-body 737. Top Captain pay at FDX is $260/hour flying wide body 777 [/QUOTE]
