[QUOTE="brownIEman, post: 3897205, member: 14596"] Short answer : He is probably making top driver rate, not the supervisors rate. Supervisors are not paid hourly so that would not make sense anyway. More detailed answer: A supervisor doing hourly work is taking work, and therefore money, away from a union member. The cost to the company of the supervisor is fixed. It's the same wether he works 24 hours or zero in a day. So there is a financial incentive for the company for supervisors to do work. The supervisor working grievance process is in the contract to take that incontinence away. In situations where service to customers will fail if supervisors don't do work, management will sometimes take an hourly hub employee with them to make deliveries so a union employee is getting paid for the work. In most places, the hub employee in this scenario would get paid top driver rate for hours worked (making sure the cost is greater than an air driver or driver in progression, removing the companies financial incentive to bypass any of those employees available).
