Not sure. There a 4 centers in my building. Our guys get done around 6 at the latest, but I see them delivering my neighborhood til 7:30. I'm guessing it's about 11 routes, with 3 or 4 extra. Point is, just like everything else, stuff will be different everywhere.

I wonder if it would be easier to get the scheduling done by offering 4-10s or 4-11s a week. M-friend bid drivers sign up for the day off they would like off, in seniority order and then a Saturday driver would work Saturday and cover 3 other routes during the week.
I spoke to a feeder guy in Montana a few years back, he said that his building had done 4 day weeks for a while, then for whatever reason, management said it was not working anymore and quit the practice.
I would sign up for 4-10s in a heartbeat

That would rock. I mean, for us they'd make it 4-18s. But I'll do it to avoid Mondays no problem.

....if you don't mind 11 or 12 hour days and approx. $20-30k cut in pay.

Yeah, no thanks to 4 day weeks. OT would disappear. My Porsche Macan doesn't pay for itself

....if you had enough stroke to bid one.
What about the 3 other drivers that had to choose a Tues, Wed or Thurs off?

We use article 22 guys that always did Saturday air. However, they hate Saturday ground so much, they've been trying to work two inside shifts on Saturday now.

I would do that. I did that at another job for 5 years before I was a stay at home dad. I had Wed, Thurs and Sat off. It was fan-freaking-tastic.
Life is not all about how much money a person makes.

Are m-friend drivers complaining about being sent home on Mondays due to a lower seniority driver essentially taking their work on the previous Saturday? Do they have the right to bump a t-s driver on Saturday to get their fifth day?

No one has to go home. Anyone that is willing to take dead days is doing it of their own accord. I would never go home on Saturday or Monday. All that does is make their life easier, and help them to screw the other drivers who work. We're never able to make it happen in our center for even one day, but everyone should be demanding their 8 every day, unless it's a real emergency and you have something to do that day.

I'm hoping this creates more Monday dead days. I could coast to the end working 4 days a week.

Guess I'm lucky at my center. We have no plans to implement Saturday ground for the next 2-3 years and I just got my own little Saturday air route complete with 15 stops and 100 miles.

Do you have a specific date set yet? 4/30/18 is my projected last working date with an eligible retirement date of 6/22/18.
I just have to have the will power not to take any paid days before 4/30.

The hub that I work at is doing this next month. That's why they are hiring so many drivers right now and I missed my opportunity and so pissed. LOL
