On another topic a colleague of mine told me freight guys like ups and fedex get paid really really well. Interesting. Anyone know of this?
Pretty sure he has been with FEDex for 13yrs.

TBM.
No one is saying that the RAAF should be doing charters for Coles. However thanks to cost cutting with the majors and politics of Albanese and Rudd, we have nothing here that can do this kind of work.Its a bit frightening when our food supplies, by need, are moved on chartered aircraft from the USA.
In a war situation I suggest that that option will not be available, just as earlier when B747 200F aircraft were removed from OZ charter to work for the US CRAF when Iraq was invaded.

Charter
The Australian Government asked Qantas Freight to help out with the flood relief effort, Qantas Freight Wet Leases the Atlas Freighters & dictate when & where they fly too....Should be Qantas Freight people are thanking not Atlas Air....Qantas Freight didnt have to charter the flight out to the Aussie Government & offer discount Freight return to BNE so CNS can get out all there Bananas that are going to go off due to no road transport & deliver Flood Relief supplies...
A big step up by Qantas Freight - Managers with a conscious as there is much $$$ factor in it ...I guess the media wont report that!

What has the Aussie Government got to do with this other than not building a road and rail network that is flood proof... It happens most wet seasons!
Coles chartered the flight to fill the shelves not unlike Maccas using 737 last wet to restock their Cairns stores

...Seriously, good on QF/Atlas for all their flights. They didn't stop for 24 hours, the 747F was in and out of Brisbane like a yo-yo
. Kudos also to Skytrans who have run many Dash 8s to flooded areas with supplies, Careflight who have been evacuating the sick out of flood prone areas all day and night with their Learjet and the RFDS as always.

1a sound asleep.
Unlike United. Fedex did not seek Chapter 11 protection. Most pilots in the USA have lost salary, benefits and pensions since 2001. There are still over 7000 pilots furloughed in the USA. American (AA) has not recruited for many years and now has more pilots over 60 years than under 40 years with 1890 still furloughed.
The top Fedex salary is $210,825 whereas the top UA salary is $159,508. The top payer is UPS with $231,231.
With per diems of approx. $2 per hr and pension benefits nothing like those in Australia I do not think too many pilots in Aust especially QF would be envious of their US cousins.
