Wow, I can't believe the wait time is that long. I'm hoping that due to him driving now, they'll put him on the list, according to his seniority, so that he doesn't have to start all of the way at the bottom. We haven't looked into it too much, at this point, however I'm hoping that they'll grant him a hardship transfer, or something of that nature, so that it won't take nearly that long. Relocation is not something that UPS promotes, at all, so I'm not too optimistic about it. Are there any other jobs, around the Des Moines area, that pay comparably to UPS? My dad works for the UPRR, and he said that the RR goes through a nearby town, so that may be something that my husband entertains, also, at least until he get get FT again with UPS. What's the unemployment rate like up there, right now? Here in Florida, it's through the roof. The area that I live in, used to be highly dependent on the construction field, and when that went sour, a whole lot of people lost jobs, not to mention those that were employed in the financing and realty end of things.
