I suppose any progress out of this 4a2b nonsense could only be good news but ... I'm still a bit annoyed that the company turned the thing on with the flick of a light switch and now that they have agreed to a way to return to normal that it will be phased in over a series of very long months!*? :confused:

That way ... management can continue to squeez blood out of our collective "stones."????? :confused:

I'm excited. Excited at how we're all so excited to be getting our salt and pepper back.

Exactly. At least in Sep we all qualify for the same hours of pay DC10 guys sitting at home get

But until then, it's Son of SAM.

One of the sleeproom ladies brought these points up to me:


1. Just GETTING the PSIT back into room means they can put some pressure to ease BLGs up. They have claimed in the past that simply by being involved they can raise the BLG by an hour or two every month.

2. The elimination of the "unturnable" 8+ pairings (Oak, PDX, SEA) not only eliminate an onerous pairing where guys rest "on their own time...", but by upping the layover and making them 9+ hour trips...the BLG average should also ease up.

3. With this agreement we contractually get some "city purity" back....

It's not that easy getting the condiments back by written agreement.:p

Ding Dong, the witch is dead.
The wicked old witch is dead......

OK...that's some funny $h*t. :D:D

I can imagine these very nice ladies posting a Tarot Card sign or a Palm Reader sign outside the sleep room doors instead of that dreaded "All Hub Turn Sleep Rooms are Full" sign.

Thanks for the visual Busboy! :)

The masters of taking two marbles and giving one back!

But, not right away and then making you believe you got something from them :eek:

And that's another reason why FedEx is better than UPS. We have sleep room ladies. However, I've been off the property for a while, so could someone please refresh my failing memory. Is their job still to go around during hub turns and service the occupied sleep rooms?:rolleyes: Take that UPS guys.;)
