Ccas also get some benefits! Rcas get Jack. I was an rca for 6 years prior to becoming regular. Some of the carriers on this site were rcas far longer than that!
DrZuff -- "I have just accepted an RCA position at a station that claims I should make regular in 2 years."
-- If you want to see them sweat, ask for that in writing!!
-- While it may be true, a lot will depend on the age and health of current regulars and or if the area is experiencing rapid growth. Nothing to keep you from asking the current carriers how long they have been there and their future plans. Also, you will be the low person on the totem pole, so everyone who sticks it out will make regular before you.
-- Certainly could be that your office was short on subs and would say anything to get you hired.
-- Also, never believe anything anyone says about bidding or not bidding on a route.
-- Once you make regular, all you have to do is resign and take the test for the city side if you want to switch.
-- In most cases, those who choose the city side make regular sooner - but not always.
-- If you are determined to join the city side, best to look for a CCA position now.

Man, is that ever the truth! When I started at my office, there was an older woman running the aux route. She had a bad back problem, and was in serious pain on the job every day. Everyone told me she would be gone in no more than 2 years, and the aux route would be mine. She hung in there for 7 years. Took me 11 years to go regular.
Oh, and btw, once you become a rural regular, you also can't transfer to another office if you don't like yours, unless you find someone just as unhappy somewhere else who will want swap offices with you.

When I first started the rumor was 3 to 5 years to make Regular Carrier, 9 1/2 years later I made Regular.

I didn't know that! Just another example of our union on top of the situation. And another kick in the teeth to the rural craft. The USPS making bank on the backs of rural! Smh
