haha that's great.. Well I was also wondering whether or not to say I would like to work the ramp? rather than the HUB?
Also, im going to be leaving for school at the end of August, should I say anything about transferring? Or not mention anything at all?

I definitely think you need to mention you are leaving for school in August.
This is what the master agreement says about transfers:
Section 6. Part-Time Employee Transfer
Part-time employees who wish to transfer to another location for educational purposes may submit a
written request to the Employer. If approved, the transfer shall be allowed subject to the following
conditions:
A. A part-time opening exists at the desired location.
B. Employees must have attained seniority and been employed by the Employer for at least one (1)
year.
C. Job Classification Seniority shall be end-tailed.
D. Company seniority shall be retained for the purpose of number of weeks of vacation, and number of
holidays in accordance with the applicable Supplement at the new location.
E. Any expenses, including moving expenses associated with an approved transfer, shall be the
responsibility of the employee.
Do you think I might have a chance since it is based on my schooling?
Get hired at your current location, show up on time etc. be a good employee, then quit on good terms. Once you move to your new location apply again and there is a good chance you will be hired.

I work preload in south Miami. I am not sure if you are aware of the type of people that might apply to work a 3am-9am shift in south Miami. Put it like this, I was the only one who wasnt wearing jeans and a t-shirt to my interview. Some of these boys had doo-rags on. I felt way overdressed for the occasion but I ended up getting the job. Go in there, present yourself nice, speak clearly and if I were you I would not mention that you plan on leaving in August (transfer or no transfer). They would probably rather not spend a week of training on someone who is leaving in a month.
Would you want to spend a week catching missed packages by some new guy who isn't even gonna bother staying?
Not me. The company isn't the only thing affected here..
I canceled the appointment. I'm just going to wait until I go to school. Although, the online app for where I'm going says (Back-Up) for package handler. What does that mean? It seems like that means they'd be slow to hire.
I figured I'd be better off just finding some seasonal job where I live. Like you guys mentioned, I don't want to be holding people back.
