[QUOTE="tieguy, post: 269628, member: 1912"] [COLOR=blue]Most of your part time jobs are in hub sorts. To significantly increase the ratio of part time jobs you would have to significantly create more hub sorts. [/COLOR] [COLOR=#0000ff]If anything I would expect that we may actually reduce the ratio ( not number) of part time jobs over the years. I would expect our company would look to reduce the number of sort handles on a package to reduce handling costs and to reduce damages and missorts. As we do so we would then close down some hub sorts usually day sorts and some night sorts thus eliminating as many as 2 or 300 hundred part time jobs and reducing the overall number of part time jobs. [/COLOR] [COLOR=#0000ff]Let me give you one example. The east to west lane enhancements have created all kinds of new sleeper team / feeder jobs. Direct movements from one coast to the other. less handles and less service failures. One possible casualty of these lane enhancements could be taking down the Cach day sort.
