You will be given the opportunity to bid into a FT job. If the contract passes as written. Of course no one has seen the new proposed contract. So no one knows.
negative
The ratio in the old contract is 6 to 1 for package. With the new the txt say 1 just 6... So you as a part timer will have the opportunity to go on the 2, 2, 2 transfer ratio.
I haven't read that but usually the Union avoids allowing bid jobs that cover both weekend days.
This is something that I would want changed. Seems Sun-Thurs is doable but there must be some issue with Monday's.
You are correct that is what you read.
I'm in about the same exact position as you as far as years, but I generally drive 2-4 days a week, as a part time cover driver. I'm curious to see what pay we would get being already qualified. Full time would be awesome but if we don't get any compensation for being qualified, the price difference would be way to steep. I would take a $10/hour pay reduction to do the same work I am already doing, split with some in building work, and that is not ok. More stable hours is a great thing, but it is just offset with reduced pay, resulting in the same if not less earnings.
You need to get out more, Here part time air drivers are given the chance. Before supervisors are forced to deliver.
