[QUOTE="hegro, post: 2375935, member: 59201"] I need some advice about the situation I am in. Any help is appreciated. I have been with the company for a little over a year now. Seniority date is July 20th. I went through driver training back at the end of April. The HR lady in charge of hiring drivers said I would be called 4-6 weeks after I got out of class for a Saturday air position. I ended up going into HR after 7 weeks only to find out that the lady who put me in training was no longer there. The new lady in charge has no idea how I got through training so quick and told me it was seniority based(no sh it) and to basically wait my turn and I would be called when needed. Over the last month or two I have been called a couple times on Friday about driving. For different reasons I never got a chance to answer and had to wait until the next week to get in touch with her. According to her both times I got a hold of her it was too late and there were higher seniority people already going through training that week so I would have to wait.. So now we are approaching peak season obviously and she is trying to get me on Saturday within the next couple weeks and holiday driving 2nd or 3rd week of October. All the while more and more people are going through training so who knows when I will actually get on. My actual question I am wondering is if I should just remove myself from Saturday driving and just do the holiday driving? I don't really want Saturday if I am going to be on holiday. My end goal is to go full time early next year so should I take advantage of the experience? Also a couple other people in my class only got one day with somebody training on Saturday as opposed to 3 days(?) when you go holiday/full time. I have been out of training for 5 months now and am not feeling the most confident as a lot of the stuff is not fresh in my head. Should I go in and go back over the computer lessons in my free time? I am mainly concerned about the DIAD. I also realize a lot of the job becomes much easier with hands on experience when you get out and do it. I just want to be as ready as possible. Sorry for the rambling, any input is welcome. [/QUOTE]
