Know how I know not going into management is the right move for you? Because you never referred to the opportunity as a "promotion." You can think critically aren't enough of a sucker for it.
Part time sup or stay union?

Wait. Stay in the union. See if your local does cdl training and pursue that option. They’re always looking for drivers: air drivers for Saturdays in some areas, TCDs for summer coverage and peak, etc.

Starting hourly is probably the safer option.
You should however talk to folks who've been around for awhile and try to get a feel for how long it will take to go driving. It's different everywhere. In someplaces, might be a year or less, then you are 4 years from top, so you could be making just north of 100k in about 5 years. Or, it could be 10 years or more just to start driving. It's different everywhere.
The vast majority of pt sups never go higher, but it can be a nice addition to a resume because the rest of the world mostly just sees UPS and management and does not know how close pt sups and baby sitting are to each other.
On the other extreme, I've known pt sups that rose to division manager level by their early 30's and were making well north of 200k. That's very rare of course, I'd almost say it would be like winning the lottery, but it had way more to do with effort ambition and smarts than luck.

Does this "prophecy" also apply to management?

Pffft, dont be a sub. You lose out in the long run. No union, no luck.

Can I get one at Subway?

If you want, but I don’t recommend it. I usually get one from the corner pizza joint. Vito’s, or Antonino’s have the best.
You already know my answer
