This site has the contracts and retirement programs put together in a flash application. Very easy and good information for those pilots considering a job change.

Nice tool. Try punching everything into the UPS calculator and comparing it to everything else. Unbelievable. Almost double what you'd get at any pax major.

UPS Yeah, would you do it from where you are at?

What is your current opinion on FedEx?

As crazy as it sounds, probably not. The money and the job security are incredibly appealing, but the amount of time I'm spending at home with this job is really unbelievable. I couldn't get this much time at home at UPS even after 20 years seniority unless I moved to SDF.

What is your current opinion on FedEx?

FedEx actually has an overall better contract. Upgrade is also very quick (3 years to narrowbody, I think). I just hated MEM so much when I worked at PCL that I couldn't imagine being based there for the next couple of decades.

True in a manner of speaking. If you were a REAL pilot, your DEBTS would be worth more than 20 million when you retire, and you hope the valuation of your estate when you die will cover the debts

I keeeeeeeeeeed! I keeeeeeeeeeeed!
