[QUOTE="bakagigee, post: 2735732, member: 42772"] Wow, quite the exchange here. First, Mugarolla... Thanks for the input, it is very helpful. Second, I do know what a Steward is, but not all center Stewards are even remotely as informed or helpful as the people on this forum. I like to talk to my Steward first, and then go here to get any additional help I can. The full-time driver who is going back and forth to the airport is being paid his driver wage. Interesting thing about this scenario is that at night a part-time air driver who works on the local sort takes the packages to the plane, not a full-time driver. It seems like the same job, but in the morning they have a FT driver do it, and at night they have an PT local sort/air driver do it and he gets paid air rate when he does it. So for part of the preload he gets paid his inside rate and then when he drives (and he does actually drive) he gets his air rate. I wonder why they are not both FT driver jobs, or both part-time air driver jobs. Seems inconsistent. Just FYI, it only takes us about 45min to leave the building, drive to the airport, unload the plane, and come back. Personally, I don't want to hear anything other than helpful information that will lead us to a correct and fair answer. I wouldn't mind going if I got paid my air rate, but I do not think that they should be able to assign this job to anybody they want to on the preload (regardless of seniority), which is what they told me they can do. I feel that the person who rides in this vehicle, in bad weather, and assumes additional risks associated with working at the airport and around the plane should either be paid more for assuming that extra responsibility and training required (as we are told we have to be airport certified to go even though we don't drive), or the job should be given based on seniority... Meaning, they would offer it to highest seniority people first, and force people to take it from the bottom up. Does that seem fair and in accordance with the contract to you folks? Thanks again for the help. [/QUOTE]
