That's in between getting paid 12 hours to fly two legs. Man this job is hard!

Do you ever just shutup?

I was a GS-13 step 5 when I quit the government. All I can say is that I understand how postal people go postal. The seniority system we have now, while far from perfect, is better than watching people getting promoted just because they're incompetant at their current job, and there's no where to hide them.

but their guarantee is way low compared to their amigo's at Brown and Purple.

Think about it....
Figure you fly 80 hours this month.
UPS you make your guarantee and that's it.
FDX; you make guarantee plus 6 hours overtime
ABX; you make guarantee plus 15 hours overtime.

Think about it....

If you sit reserve at UPS and don't fly at all, you make guarantee (80 hours/mo.) How much at ABX for the same amount of time for not flying?

yup, you're right. It's all part of the game, and how your contract's structured.

Do FDX and ABX get a premium for overtime? If not, I'll take the higher guarantee any day. Depending on pairing density and rigs it may take a serious hit in qol to get the overtime. And, if its straight pay screw that!
