Air Driving Question

[got2bh3]

FT air driver wage and PT inside rate. New guys are in for quite a shock when they win a new 22.3 preload/air driver bid.

Would they still get the catch up raise if they went to a 22.3 job from a package?

Excellent question? I asked and the response was it will be based on your hire date.
I know it’s a lame answer. I would ask your B/A or payroll person.

You would think it would be applied to your part-time base rate.

When did you go 22.3?

You should be set. As was pointed out the air driver raises are capped and are different than the inside rate.
These guys become math wizards when they bid those jobs

 

[got2bh3]

I won the bid last week. Yeah the air rate is capped. But is the inside rate entitled to the part-time $1.50 catch up raise

I am trying to do the math and add up all of the raises from hire date. Wondering if the $1.50 catch up raise should be added.

I was told it was a one time only raise meaning you had to be in the job at the time.

 

[got2bh3]

Huh. I would think “one time” meant if you have five years in you get the .50 cents but when you hit 10 years, you don’t get that raise again which would be $1 . Because you were already paid that raise once. It seems that the part- time date should get you the dollar 1.50 raise “once” after 20 years added to your base pay , no matter what job you’re in. You’re probably right though. Because it makes no sense.

It won't be.

Ok thanks

I just asked the guy who took one of those bids. He said he did get the catchup raise. Unfortunately he still is making about five bucks less an hour from his driving wage

Do you know if he was already in the 22.3 position before the new contract was ratified? So before after Aug 1st 2023..

I’ll shoot him a text. I believe he started his bid in March.

Their inside rate is a part time rate, so it should and from I've read on other sites, most all 22.3 had gotten the raise on their inside rate.

The ones that were in the classification when the contract passed did get the PT catch up raise. Not so sure about any new 22.3 air drivers since most of their jobs have been eliminated.

Right. It’s the “new to the classification” is where the confusion is. Many are saying it doesn’t apply. Every raise from your hire date is added to your inside rate, whether you were in the classification or not, logic says the “catch up” raise would be no different …. But anything’s possible .
