[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 980084, member: 24302"] So at the point Express is strictly an overnight service, how will they handle the thousands of FTers still here who aren't getting 35hrs a week? End it as a policy like split pay? Or shell out a lot of money? I can't imagine too many topped out couriers willing to take a buyout if they know they can get 35 hrs worth of pay. It'll be the 3 year FTers who don't see a future here. Imagine a topped out 46 year old with 5 weeks vacation walking away in this economy. They've taken away so many things. Why not the Guarantee? And that's what they call it. That last thing you said...any courier, manifest or not, who's halfway competent will still be able after a few months visualize each stop and automatically know what order it should be in. Remains to be seen if a computer can route it better. This is about making it easy to bring in newhires, for union busting or getting rid of old timers. But it won't make a courier better. The human brain is a learning machine. Computers can't learn. [/QUOTE]
