My center manager never gave me a official recorded 5 day extension, but rather he explained after my initial 30-days of driving he said he wanted to a improvement on my PM times in which I improved to satisfactory results. Today, I walked in and expected them to congratulate me on cutting my PM times, and that's when they explained that my performance times weren't up to their standard. Like i said, I scratched about 20% of the time (max consecutive: 3 days of scratch) and my other times were about on avg. .15-.30.
I will talk to my steward tomorrow given that I ran 35 days with no formal extension recorded, and I hope that once I hit my 31st day that I became qualified. We will probably have to file a grievance.
Thanks to everyone for your input.
I'm out of Grand Rapids, MI hub.
