Can u demote urself?

[margaritaville]

Say u been at the same hub forever and become a driver. Than u decide your gonna bitch out and become an air driver or combo job or even worst of all, just a hub employee. I assume you cant go backwards even though u stayed at same hub all ur life?

You'll get knocked back down to hub pay I believe, pay grade at your seniority level.

It's possible but unlikely. The company isn't creating a lot of combo jobs anymore, so you would probably have to have a ton of seniority to win a combo bid, if one ever did pop up.

I've heard you can go back to the hub, but only due to family or medical reasons. Not sure about this.

If you haven't made book you can get yourself DQ'd, else your choice is to bid into a 22.3 if it shows up. More than that it'll either be a medical reason, or you're risking getting fired.

It depends on your local. Some locals you can bid on an article 22 job (with a pay cut) or bid on a preferred FT inside job (but you may have to get your 30 days in to qualify for preload).

Once you go FT the only way to go back to PT would be to quit and be rehired.

Back to PT, yes. But if your building has a FT preload, that may not necessarily be the case.

All true. I assumed we were talking about going back to PT. Many times I have heard drivers talk about going back to PT after putting in 25 or 30 years FT. Almost the same hourly rate and full benefits. Nice retirement job.

Best retirement job in my local is a FT porter...

O boy, yeah. Hard to believe the best Union job at UPS is to be a janitor and clean toilets for a career.

A porter job just opened up in my building....some drivers would unclog a public toilet barehanded to win that bid...lol

We will have an opening about every 10 years or so when one of the old porter dies.

Better get a permit to fill in wetlands. Good luck with that...

 

[greengrenades]

You can go combo or feeders, I believe those are your only options. I don't believe you can go back to a PT hub employee.

 

[UPSjedi41]

But is it possible to be a full time driver and bid into a part time air driving job?

No.

Saw an old pkg friend yesterday. He told me he has a combo job now. He works preload and then delivers 2 office bldgs. I have no idea what his pay rate is.
