[QUOTE="35years, post: 5146786, member: 60822"] We had a part time clerk (and air driver) who would hide address correction boxes he found the address for before the drivers left...Then he would drive the corrected ground boxes out after drivers left. He would get OT after 5 hours, and work 9-10 hours. He made more than drivers. His little gig lasted 15 years until someone filed on him. Cut his hours to 4 a day. It forced him to finally sign a driving bid. Now he has been officially full time for 15 years, though he has worked full time hours for 30 years. Still no where near getting his pension. So I see why other "part time" air drivers are afraid of their gig being shut down. I would feel sorry for him except his actions prevented a full time driving job from being created for years. It is ridiculous to say it is the full time driver's calling in that creates the work. That would be the same as saying the call-ins necessitated PVDs. It is the purposeful understaffing by management, aided and enabled by the air drivers not having their gig grieved. [/QUOTE]
