How many pilots have a limited 10 year career? Most pilots have a 20+ year career (or that's what one would expect from UPS and Jetblue). Your numbers conviently only show the first 10.
Now we could say that every pilot at B6 will fly 85+ hours or that UPS will get an industry leading contract but we need to talk in absolutes, apples to apples. The only way to do that is to take 12 year capt pay and multiply it by reserve gurantee.
Simple math: Jetblue A320 12 year pay is $139
139 x 75(res gurantee) x 12 months x 10 years = $1,251,000
UPS 12 year wide body pay is $190 (according to airlinepilotpay.com most jr capt is 747 SDF)
190 x 81 x 12 x 10 = $1,846,800
ALMOST $ 600,000 difference!!!!!
Now stop for a second, after 10 or 20 years how much does that JetBlue pilot have in his retirement fund? ZERO DOLLARS! SO you need to reduce your numbers and the numbers above by at least 3% for the 401K match.
