What a kick in the gut
Our CEO goes around saying things like "we'll never see 2000 pay rates again" but Fedex's short term contract "boosts children's education allowances to a total of $5,000 per child or $10,000 (for more than one child per year)" (ALPA Magazine, May 2011, p. 22).
They get $10K/year towards college for their kids?! while we accept the lowest pay and benefits in the industry? Just shoot me now.

You're right. The situations are comparable and anyone on Guam should get compensated in a similar way. My original "never mind" was for the wrong assumption that all Fedex pilots got the 10K.
Ever been near 54n174e?
