Lower pay for Cargo Pilots?

[B1900DFO]

Fedex and Ups guys make **CENSORED****CENSORED****CENSORED****CENSORED** good money and the companies are profitable, ie, no concessions necessary. I think it is more a function of the bargaining power of the pilot group than the type of flying that determines salary.

less pay for cargo?

Specifically which cargo companies pay less than which non-cargo operators?

Atpcliff, who I believe works at USAjet, wrote that by next summer their first year Falcon FO pay will be 41k per year. I've heard the base pay now is around 33k and that senior Falcon captains there now make over 100k. Admittedly that is less than Delta main line pay and it is also less than FEdEx or UPS pay but compared to say Horizons 22k to start and 118k for 20year captains a USA jet pilot will make much more over the first five years and over a career. Upgrades are quicker too and they fly all over North America
