[QUOTE="zubenelgenubi, post: 3524219, member: 63706"] I agree that 4 years is a reasonable progression for drivers hired off the street. PT should get credit for time in, and Air Drivers should get even more credit. A new ground driver with 8 years part time and 4+ years as an air driver, driving ground routes during peak, is not the same as an off the street hire. [USER=4805]@Jones[/USER]' reply is correct. I'm not demanding anything, just being rhetorical. The reason I bring the matter up is that drivers in a 4 year progression miss out on anywhere from $30k - 100k depending on what other progression schedule you compare it to. If they decrease the progression schedule in the next contract the question then becomes why should drivers hired under this contract accept $30k+ less than drivers hired after them? If that's what happens, there may not be any recourse, but that doesn't make it fair. I'd be a year closer to paying off my house with that money, and that's no small matter. The same thing happen to me when I enlisted in the Army. Two years later they started offering much larger enlistment bonuses, and more money for school. Life's just not fair sometimes. [/QUOTE]
