Doesn't work like that
You either bid on a job, or put in to give up your bid, and go work available. That will be trim or chassis
Or get medically released
And still go work available.

Huh???You can put a transfer in for any dept...And if your on a bid and give it up you can pretty much get the area you want..I've done it..

[wtf89]

So going work available with only a year in I'd still be able to stay on c crew most likely

Contractually you go work available.
There aren't open spots in paint or body since the reduction of C crew for new paint/body. And those misplaced to production still have recall rights.
You may well have left a bid job, especially a bid job within that same department and received your department preference, but it's not guaranteed.

The last group I new who left material handling for line jobs all ended up in production, and they all went back to stock within a year or so.

Trim/chassis sux.

I'm sure...I guess I was lucky..But the people I know have all stayed in body..Unless they wanted to leave..Now if they hate you then you're screwed..

Your also probably referring to metal finish or weld inspector. If your already in body, and familiar it makes sense to keep you.

Material Handling never happy to see someone leave

Are you asking about Forklift?

Its very, very, very likely that you will go to work available in an undesirable area and get put on the shit job that nobody on the team wants.


Did you hire in on the lift? Think long and hard about going to the line if you've never done it. It might take you months to get off a bad job.

You could get lucky, but I wouldn't count on it

Just buy your supervisor lunch a couple times,and do anything he ask of you for a couple months then ask to leave your bid..Then he will help you stay in your desired area..It works.
