[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 903530, member: 24302"] But how is knowing freight will be heavy change anything? Our jets have to leave the airport on a set schedule, and if everything goes according to plan we will still have extra freight to deliver. Throw a weather event into the mix and our day gets much worse. Our evening PTers are often called to come assist but that's a hit or miss proposition. Might not be able to come in, might not answer the phone, and there aren't enough of them to help many of us. And FedEx isn't going to staff based on worst case scenarios. Otherwise we'd all only get 35 hrs a week with too many people hanging around. It's a tough business, and those of us who stick with it should be compensated better because we do have to put up with alot. Every so often FedEx will tell us they know we've got it tough and they do care about us. Apparently that's supposed to take the place of better compensation. Pretty hard to say they care at this point without most bursting into sarcastic laughter as everything they do says they care about themselves first and foremost. [/QUOTE]
