[QUOTE="Overpaid Union Thug, post: 132315, member: 198"] Yeah I'm in an "Extended Center" but I used to work in a hub before. It takes 8 years or so just to become a p/t cover driver there and around 13 for a combo job of any kind. I've been working for UPS for almost 8 years (including my time at the hub) and I'm STILL part-time!!! I hear stories about how other areas can't keep enough drivers and even combo workers but here people are praying for someone to quit, retire, die, etc. just to get ANYTHING full-time. I'd take any type of full-time job. An air/inside job would be alright with me. Two different pay scales is kinda goofy but I'd take it. Running an air route picking up drop boxes and then sorting for 4 hours or so in the building is better than getting in a jammed pack truck every morning and returning to the building at around...say...7ish and having a butt load of send agains because customers seem to think our trucks are also mini wharehouses as well as delivery vans so they order things and aren't prepared to recieve them because they know that if they don't have their money orders ready we can "just bring it back tomorrow" or if they aren't home at their apartments we'll have to come back again the next day unless we leave it at the apt. office. The only thing that sucks about air routes is on calls that the regular drivers refuse to get. Other than that....CAKE WALK! [/QUOTE]
