[QUOTE="air_dr, post: 1191948, member: 29929"] I made the same transition you did now almost 10 years ago. I think you already got some helpful replies. I would only try to clarify by adding that every employee has two kinds of seniority. "Company seniority" and "classification seniority." As you can probably figure out, company seniority is the date you started as a permanent employee with the company in any role, and classification seniority is the date you started working in some particular classification such as air driving. If you take the air driver job, the total number of vacation weeks you will have will be based on company seniority, but your turn to pick the weeks you want will be based on classification seniority. As far as wages go, when I went air driving I went from $12.40 to $12.50, so I am not sure if you would be red circled or take a cut to $12.50, but I would encourage you to keep in mind that over the long term, I am almost certain you would end up with a higher hourly wage as an air driver than as an inside worker. Some other things which come to mind now: -physically the work is MUCH easier -as long as you get your job done, supervisors pretty much leave you alone -the daily guarantee is only 3 and not 3 1/2 hours and OT starts after 8 and not after five hours.
