[QUOTE="ComfortablyNumb, post: 5721353, member: 107605"] I have read messages here in the past, decided to register and weigh in on this subject. Appears it isn't just non-driving jobs. I'm a part-time air driver and was told a few week ago i was being laid off because the company is looking to save money. We have two PT air drivers in the building, one services pickups south of the building, the other north. After meeting at the building, one takes pickups to the airport which is about two hours away. I would get about three hours a day, the other driver about seven. What they have done is assigned all the air pickups to the one driver. If an OCA comes in, the driver picks up in that direction. If none come in, the driver goes to the north and they have FT drivers pick up the air in the opposite direction, which does not make it to the airport. Whichever way, that driver then takes all pickups to the airport. Right now, I'm burning up leave time. I've been told by BA that if my job is eliminated, I can bump any lower seniority employee in the building. Management has not said my job is eliminated, just that I'm on temporary layoff and they don't know for how long. Meanwhile, trying to get a hold of BA to see what Union can do. I guess if they can get me a position in the building, I can look forward to being bumped by a machine, eh? [/QUOTE]
