[QUOTE="browniehound, post: 753013, member: 4653"] I can't imagine this happening completely with out major service failures. No? I can see one or two routes phased out, but all of them? I don't know where you work, but I'm maxed out on airs 3 out of 5 days every week. Never mind the specific air routes, but who in CHEMA is going to get the extra airs that the ground driver can't do when he is overdispatched with airs? I think its a pipe dream unless UPS likes many service failures. However, it might not be a pipe dream if they start some drivers at 630 to deliver EAMS and then do some airs that came in locally before coming back to the center to get their route. Then, I guess, you could have drivers start at 835 and do their route and then have them pick up letter boxes until 2000 and then meet a another full-time driver who will take the airs to the airport? At which time he/she will be punching out at 2200? This can't really happen, can it?. Why pay a full-time driver $44/hour or $88 over 2 hours to deliver 3 EAM parcels when you can pay an air driver 16-$22 an hour to do so? In the same spirit, how can you pay a full-time driver $44/hour from 1730-2030 to pick-up letter boxes when you can pay an air-driver 16-22$ to do so? It just doesn't make any sense to me? [/QUOTE]
