This has concerned me also, but I am close enough to retirement that I can ride it out. Since Saturday Ground is going to be high density urban areas I am hoping to still deliver small town and rural areas. Or bumping into the Saturday preload as a double shifter at $50+/hr. instead of $27.64/hr delivering Sat. Air.

No one knows if the company is going to let the ground guys and gals do air too... It all depends on the cost for the company... They might still allow the Saturday air drivers deliver because they get paid less or it could be more cost effective to let the FT ground guys and gals to do it all... Soon will tell.

Saturday air is 90 minutes relaxed. It will be dispatched with the ground drivers.
Almost every Sat. air driver in my building is invited to do air exception during the week, as well.
Saturday air drivers will be offered the opportunity to become air exception drivers. Those who refuse probably won't be driving anymore.

You could be right... Or you could be wrong... It all depends on cost... The company isn't going to pay drivers crazy overtime or any to deliver on Saturday... Also, there will be ground pickups for businesses that want it... That's a lot of time for the day...

The only pickups thus far are the UPS Store.

WSJ: UPS to Start Ground Deliveries on Saturdays
As for what you did Saturday... I think the company is trying to avoid that.
Read NMA Art 40. When pkg car drivers are working on Saturday, they'll be delivering the air.

If that's what the company wants then it will happen... The contract can be reopened and renegotiated at anytime. Like I said, what ever makes them the most profitable out of this.

Most of our Saturday air drivers here were article 22. They have all been put on the preload, then they do airs in a smaller area than they previously did on Saturdays.

Article 40 NMA, states air drivers get first dibs on Saturday air work. The ground guys and gals will not be delivering air unless they need more drivers or they reopen and renegotiate the contract... They can also negotiate it in the new contract.
No it doesn't say that. But it does state in NMA 40 ART 1 (a) that air drivers work only when a regular pkg driver cannot reasonably perform the work. If pkg drivers are now working Sat., they certainly can perform the work.
If "ground guys" aren't delivering air, someone better be filing a grievance. There is no need to reopen when language already exists.
