[QUOTE="8Keys, post: 1197867, member: 48236"] It's not a life decision. It's a series of independent decisions which shouldn't necessarily affect one another, but do. Maybe someone wants a driving bid but can't or won't load trucks for 9 hours in the middle of the night, so he doesn't sign a certain inside bid. Maybe someone wants to go 22.3 but has no interest in driving or has obligations during the day time. Maybe someone could not qualify or was not pre-qualified for a specific position and thus couldn't win a bid. I don't think it's really fair that these types of things affect a person's ability to win unrelated bids in the future, even when the future may be 15 years later. Full timers should be able to keep their own position, have protection from getting laid off and maintain their 8 hour guarantees, but for other purposes I don't think they should have special privileges. This is typical case of using the contract language to screw the new guys before they know any better, except in this case it also screws anyone who spent a lot of years working part time. [/QUOTE]
