I'm an air driver and there seems to be some disagreement over who has seniority over who when it comes to driving ground.
As I understand it, air seniority prevails for running air during the week but building seniority (among air driver's) prevails for running ground packages.
The dispatcher seemed to think it was straight air seniority across the board. The difference may soon be enough to put me on the road a couple times a week. I'm about half way up the list by building seniority but near the bottom for air seniority.
If I can cover drive frequently I may just pass on going full time. The prospect of cover driving as I choose at top rate in a few years may trump being a ground driver at full rate for 5 days a week.
