The red wire?
Stepped down as a cover driver, can I still go 22.4?
- Thread starter NewYork85
- Start date
Southwest package rider.
I just looked up some information from the 2013-2018 contract and it states that “no disqualified cover driver will be denied part time to full time job opportunities” this was obviously written before 22.4 was even thought about but it should still apply to it right? I should also be able to keep my current air right correct ?
You air rate isn't a bid job . correct?
Don’t think so. After I finished school, I was doing air on Saturdays. But I’m at top rate for air now. I am hoping that $28 gets carried over to 22.4
You are only red circled if that was your regular job before you bid in another job
But I hope it works out for you.

I'm in the same local rider. Yes you will be able to qualify for a 22.4 position. No your air rate will not carry over and you will have to start progression over. If you were a cover driver it would have carried over.

Why quit a $31/hr job to bid on a $19/hr job?

Actually he quit a $26 dollar an hour job.
Overtime and full time pension and seniority

I thought he said he was a TCD. I think the point is still valid, though.

Your point is valid but he was a PT Cover Driver in the West.
He may not have even drove much.
He DQed himself.
It seems here in the west that all cover drivers will be transitioned into 22.4 so that’s why. Otherwise, I’d reapply for cover and actually go through 30 day probation on a training route.
Why are you stuck in the 30 day training route?

Contact the union hall, as they can give the best answer.

I love my job. Don't you?
I'll say this unless your local puts some protections in for 22.4 drivers you made a terrible decision. You will make less than the rest of us and be used and abused worse than the rest of us. If you thought you had it bad before good luck to you now. Remember everyday something will suck and covering vacations and the such will be rough no matter what position you have. I know 28 of the 50 routes my center runs and I was trained on 2 of those. Running in the blind sucks but such is life if you want to work. Show up everyday ready to eat a big ole
sandwich and ask for seconds.

As a cover driver he would make less then a 22.4 and would work less.
His cover drivers are different then TCD in other areas.
