[QUOTE="Babagounj, post: 1191822, member: 12952"] I started air driving back in 1987 . I was the first air driver in my district because nobody else wanted the work . I was able to continue with my P/t inside & collect extra hours driving ( $10/hr & $0.25 a mile ) . I could use my own vehicle which allowed me an expense account , which was equal to getting an extra week's check a month . The job was mostly at first doing line flights ; going to the airport , picking up parcels that missed the regular flight that were then shipping on commercial flights , and completing the stop . Then the job changed ( according on who the center manager was ) , sometimes I was a bulk stop driver , and then I was tasked to drive all over NE to delv. misloads & address corrections . Man the hours really piled up ( since my pension plan counted total hours worked as credit ) and for years I was able to receive 12 months credit and still be considered p/t . Before Sat Air started , I would work Saturdays doing Internationals , that was fun. Because most business stops were closed , yet I had to make the attempt . I was also a test driver for the EAM program . I had no one looking over my shoulder and most of the time no one actually knew where I was . Did that for 23 years , ending up with a top rate of $11.66/ hr . My classification was only included in one contract and dropped from the rest . I got paid to drive around and get lost . [/QUOTE]
