[QUOTE="MIapplicant, post: 1148908, member: 48016"] Hi all, I applied for a Seasonal Package Handler job at my local hub, went to the info session and everything. But the HR lady got real jazzed when I told her I have a CDL and can drive stick; she really wants me to road test for Seasonal PM Air Driver this Fri. I have a few questions. 1) What are the chances I can get a permanent job (either driving OR pre-loading) in the next 2 years out of this? I know the answer varies, but give me your best guess. 2) I am doing this mostly for the PT hours (she says strictly 20/ wk). I have a FT job but have a <1 year old kid and want to stay home more for a few years. I figure this is a good time to pay my dues as seasonal for the good benefits down the road. **What are the chances she is not telling the truth and I will end up working more than 20/ wk?** 3) How stressful is PM Air compared to the other driving jobs? It is a fixed route, right? 4) If I ultimately want a PT permanent job, preferably driving, is it better to start as PM Air Driver or as Package Handler? I hear conflicting things. 5) She says pay starts at $11.50 but if I read correctly online this could go up considerably in 2 years right? 6) I think the route is in a bad part of town. How dangerous is it for a young female PM driver, really? Does the company help keep you safe? Self defense classes? Mace? On-dash camera? 7) I read stuff about ppl flunking out of driver training. I assume this would be after I had quit my job, that I go through that training course. How hard is it? How likely am I to quit and then flunk? Could I still get a package handling job? 8) In short, how good of a deal is this? Is it worth quitting my day job for? My current company has NO future for me, and I want to start working towards my future. I am very fit, motivated, and a hard worker. But I don't want to make a big mistake leaving my job... [/QUOTE]
