5.75 yrs to hold MD-11 Captain at UPS

[80for80]

Isn't 3rd year UPS CA pay $160/hr?

Jan.1 it goes to $169.83

I'm not trying to be a jerk, I'm just trying to understand the numbers here. You’re saying a 3rd year CA at UPS will jump from $160/hr. today, up to $250/hr. in 2009? I understand there is an int'l override but that's only around $10/hr. right? Are you telling me that you guys are getting an $80/hr. pay raise over three years?

Third yr. Captain pay in 2009 will be $198.95.

Thanks for an honest reply....that sounds more realistic.

Why did you dicks have to throw in the Southwest bashing comment?

And with such a great contract you guys have, why did it only pass by 56%?

We dicks ? Hey look at your avatar p...y ! Couldn't resist, sorry.

3 yr pay

Guys...

For a brand new hire who makes capt in Anc in 3 yrs, 3rd year pay (Jan '10) is not $250, its $215. You can put a lot of overrides on it but it still won't be $250. Better than $33?...yes, but let's keep it real here.

I believe the original poster, the one who made the smug "Making 250 after 3 years sure beats blah blah blah" was not referring to the hourly rate of a UPS captain after 3 years. I believe (correct me if I'm wrong), he was referring annual income, ie 250 K per year. (including international override and intl per diem)

However, I'd still debate that. At FedEX, year 15 captain pay is 225 per hour. Now yes, those guys do make over 250 grand a year. But, at UPS, with year 3 captain pay at 161 per hour (and even raising it to 175/hr with the 3 % raises per year), I highly doubt that any of those guys will be making 250 per year, unless they are COMPLETELY whoring themselves out, working on every day off, selling back vacation, etc.

Correct me if I'm wrong.

$160k / $250k ... either way it is still a great salary.

Ohh god, who let you in?

Correct me if I'm wrong.

200 - base
10 - per diem/intl premium
10 - sick buy off
4 - trng days off
24 - B (part of one's total compensation ... though not income)
-----
$248k (just some rough numbers, but pretty close)

Now, if one were to really max out pay by picking up max opentime/JA, a 3 yr Capt could get quite close to $300k total compensation.

I'm simply talking total compensation ... the total amount thrown your way per year for your efforts at this company. You'all can argue the minutiae to your heart's content.
