[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 785698, member: 24302"] Where are newhires being hired at $18hr? New York? San Francisco? The majority of stations from observing JCATS appear to be "A" or "B"(the lowest) payscales. "B" payscale starts at just over $14hr. Look at the Monday plan of many stations. By only taking Monday freight and starting earlier they cover more area with less people. Now imagine if they send E2 and Express Saver to Ground. They would still have the same number of people doing P1, but they'll get off earlier with only SO left to do. Extended rts like mine only have SO in limited areas. Most of my area is PM area, P1 by 1630. Without E2 or XS I'd be lucky to get 8 hrs most days, less than 6 some days. If anything might find rts may be restructured to have 2 people doing what 3 people did before. Taking SO away from Express would probably cause more problems than it solved, but there's definitely the potential to save serious money by shifting freight to Ground. If FedEx ever does accelerate top-out times, it'll probably go hand in hand with reducing hours to prevent a mass exodus out the door by angry employees. [/QUOTE]
