He just got promoted to a cover driver, after 2 years of package handling. Unfortunately, with the way that UPS works, he won't be able to transfer as a driver, however he will get to keep his seniority and pay, which is better than nothing. So, if I am fortunate enough to get Des Moines, then he will most likely have to do package handling again, for at least a short period of time. Package handling doesn't pay the best, however, so he will, most likely, have to look for another full-time job, as well, which is what he was doing prior to driving. I like the West Des Moines area, a lot, and it only approximately 5 hours away from my family, in Nebraska, as opposed to being 24 hours away from them, right now. I put down Des Moines as my first choice, so I'm hoping and praying that I get it. Cedar Rapids looks pretty descent, also, so that wouldn't be all bad, either. Are you an ATC, in Des Moines? If so, how do you like it? Is the airspace pretty difficult to learn?
