It's outdated now, nobody will be doing double mail everyday, unless you're a non driver.

That was the original plan, now it's all mail one day, and first class and tracked the next.

What was the name of the 4th person when it was originally 4 people over 6 jobs. I think they got the best deal.

Im confused. Thats just the same plan. The same plan its always been.

The double mail comes from the fact that the second class isnt being touched on two walks each day in the grouping.

Most mail isnt first class so when the two posties move onto the walk that only had 1st class and tracked done the day before - its essentially double mail

First class and tracked off Walk 1 and 2 is what Postie A does whilst Postie B and C does all items on Walk 3 and 4
If you tolerate this, then your paid break will be next

The original plan was for 2 people to do the double mail everyday, and for the single driver to do first class and tracked.
