It's the term used to describe that which occupies the space between your ears, especially on our preload!

The term "air" can also be used by the younger UPSers to refer to the heighth a pkg attains while being thrown about on the preload. Ex- "that pkg caught real air, dude"

its a light package

The UPS National Master Contract Agreement is listed on the left side of this page under the Navigation Menu. Look under Teamster Menu, then UPS NMA 08-13. The wages for Full-Time Employees are listed in Article 41.

Very few. Most are better suited for: "Do you want fries with that?"

My night job is a shift manager at McDonalds and the only questions we ask are "Would you like to try two apple or cherry pies for a dollar?" or "Will this complete your order?"

Both of my kids worked at McDonalds and, while we used to eat there quite a bit before then, we very rarely if ever eat there since then.

Just curious--why does the Big Mac on my tray never look like the one on the menu board?
