[QUOTE="104Feeder, post: 1090885, member: 42554"] In reality, not much has changed since 1997. Sure they have dumbed down the sorting & package delivery enough that they think an untrained chimpanzee could do it, but even if that were true they still have to get volume to the hubs. Most of our Feeder drivers are seasoned veterans of the 1997 strike (when none crossed in my RTW State) and more than 1/3 are past retirement age or PEER lock-in. Your most likely candidates to cross would be the junior drivers, and the closer we get to a strike date volume will drop like a rock as CPU accounts like Amazon divert all their volume. So those drivers will be back in Package and pissed-off. Good luck replacing all those Feeder drivers, they won't even have enough to keep the volume moving off the rail. We can all easily get jobs at any number of carriers with our experience and safety records for near the same money. None of the Pilots will cross either. If you see a Pilot, thank them again for having our back in 1997. [/QUOTE]
