Here you go.

#1 10.18 hr
#2 The only negative about being PT is the health benenfits for a family. They are very expensive. But if you can hang on for full time they are alot better.
#3 Usually at the 10 year mark they have the deals for leaving the company. Usually they work it out so whatever sick time you have left goes towards your medical for retirement.
#4 The current contract is expired now. We are in negotiations now.

HEY SWA1973 thanks for repeating all I said...

To be fair, I didn't see what you'd posted until the third time I read it... When you put answers inside someone else's quote, it doesn't exactly jump off the page....

Part timers get 32 hrs a week. They carry PT seniority within the PT agents - and I believe they accrue 75% for FT. They are allowed to pick up FT or PT shifts and overtime - and are subject to mandatory ot like all other agents. I'm not sure about any retirement bennies for them? Full timers can convert unused sick time into health coverage for a certain period of time after retirement - but not sure of the exact specifics on that. There is also a formula for years worked/age for retirement flight benefits. The only $ you will get is what you and the company put in your 401k. No pension or anything like that.
The contract has been expired since July last year...
