[QUOTE="Method Mensch, post: 5840902, member: 71846"] True, but the reason to have air drivers is to meet the service deadlines: "Section 1. Air Drivers (a) Air driver work shall consist of delivery and pickup of air packages which, because of time and customer commitments, cannot be reasonably performed by regular package drivers" That's the air driver's raison d'etre (that means "reason for being" in pig latin). Sure, you could try to throw 4 or 5 ground routes into the mix to try to get one air driver's route done on time, in addition to the existing air on the ground routes. But in this case, you've sacrificed all that those man hours, fuel, and wear and tear on the vehicles to get it done. And you're going to have lates, even then. Might as well keep an air driver route. Well, they're likely to go ahead with this. We'll see how it all pans out. [/QUOTE]
