If your not a saturday air driver what are they forcing you to work on Saturday? In the building?
They can force the low seniority guys in,here.

They don't want to pay the full-time drivers over time. So they're forcing us.

The low time full time guys?? I guess we always have enough people willing to work here.
Every supplement is different.

And according to Art. 40 you can be forced to work Saturdays if you have hours available.

Around here Saturday air driving is volunteer only that you must sign up for. For staffing purposes all PT sign ups are required to be there, then any other PT are asked. If they still need people, they ask FT, force PT, and finally force FT. This is in the Southern Supplement

I know what the thread stated just didn't know what his schedule was is all.. Mon thru Friday or Tuesday thru Saturday we have both part air driver shifts. Just want to clarify.
Out of curiosity what is the average wait time to go Saturday Air driving in your areas? I figure it's much shorter then trying to sign up and get a FT driving position since a lot don't like to work Saturdays.
I might want to sign up just for some extra hours and experience.

My guess As a former FT 22.3 sat air, mothers day is very crazy and this sounds like an exceptional case, rather than perm m-s. Here in NE, our work weeks are five consecutive days. That is supplement language. They're forcing PT air because of understaffing delivering all those 1800 flowers.

As stated above. According to Art. 40 you can be forced to work Saturdays if you have hours available. Given that you work two jobs and will have already worked 60 hours that week, you cannot drive without a 34 hour reset.

In my center they are begging people to drive on Saturdays, I'd say the wait time would be until next Saturday lol.

My Center also. The only problem is getting people that want to drive to a school so they can. This problem has been years in the making and is only getting worse.
I got the call about 3 weeks ago. I'm currently in limbo, waiting for them to schedule a road test and driving school, but it took me 10 months and 2 weeks to get the call.
One thing to keep in mind though, is that I was on midnight for 9 months before I made it onto sunrise/preload. Employees on midnight cannot do Saturday air, so it's entirely possible that I had enough seniority before but they passed over me due to the scheduling conflict. And just in case you're wondering, the reason midnight workers cannot drive Sat. air is because there needs to be 10 hours of downtime between the previous shift and your next driving shift to comply with DOT requirements.
