[QUOTE="Mojo the Drummer, post: 842744, member: 35253"] I believe they are retiring the routes as I overheard a few drivers mentioning that. At the time I didn't really know what they meant and assumed if it wasn't allowed the Union would be all over it. Not too many of the drivers are actually retiring though. The last two routes which were retired were done so because two drivers played a bout of fisticuffs w/each other. The first two PTers on the sen. list started getting excited but the bid sheet never went up. I actually got the specific numbers last night, while there have been some driving bids (all Sat. Air) posted, only full time employees can sign up, there has not been a driving bid posted for which part timers were eligible in over four years. Should I ever be so lucky to get my name on a bid sheet is there any way I can make sure the position is guaranteed? If I'm terrible at the job/get in accidents I can understand being sent back to the hub, but I've got a family, house payment etc. I cannot leave the security of my day job only to wind up with less than I had before after they decide to send me back to the hub. That just makes no sense and it's kind of a crummy way to treat dedicated and patient employees (I realize they don't care about that but it's worth mentioning) especially give all which was "promised"; again, I know they don't care about that but some of us still believe upholding verbal promises/contracts whenever possible. Kind of like when I promise to work NDA on Christmas Eve each year even though I've never spent a Christmas Eve with my wife or son. Such is life though, better two jobs than none! [/QUOTE]
