[QUOTE="raceanoncr, post: 1002824, member: 6408"] Lifer, I, too remember when the doors were shut and lights off. But, THAT WAS BEFORE NEXT DAY AIR! When that was institued, all hell broke loose, at least here. And let me again state that I am speaking about things I heard/seen/witnessed here, in my area. I remember, as a package driver, getting handed NDAs from the driver next to me to deliver that was on the other end of area, supported by the center manager, by the way. Well, you know what? I had NDAs on the other end of MY area too. Could I hand those off? No. I remember going out to the airport with "Blue Label" trailer. 30 maybe 40 packages were handed off when we backed the trailer up to the plane. Now, we get two 757s each morn. Feeder times? HAH! Remember the "On Time Network" that never worked, except on Good Friday when there were no pickups? Remember when the pull times were 2:30 AM? Now they're 3:30, maybe 4, maybe 4:30, Maybe later. Is that feeders fault? I remember being at a hub being instructed to call home if I was going to pull late. Had to walk over to pole phone, call only to be told to wait longer. Feeders fault? Can we say this could maybe be the difference in p/ters pay now? Believe it or not, I think so. I seen production take a nasty turn when this pay system was approved many yrs ago. Lifer, wished we had a mng like you. Nowadays, I think disrespect is taught. Sorry, I've seen it. Responsibility? In my last days, as a steward, I got pretty close to the supes and mang. When trying to get the feeder mang to act on something, he'd just say, "I can't". Why? Cuz I hafta get approval from higher ups. Even on simple issues. Sad. Thanks for letting me throw in my little bit here. Got more too just don't like to make a tome outta each post. [/QUOTE]
