Tim Spruill of the Cough Drop Bag
Team became the first technician to
qualify in the pay system since its implementation. Tim reached Level I Skill
Block (and Pay Grade A) when the Pay
and Progression Team approved his
package on November 16.
Tim's been gaining his skills since he
was hired in June of 1991. He started getting signed off as soon as qualifiers were
approved. He finished by the end of
October. Tim's excited about moving to
Level I (especially getting the money!).
Ferrel Conyers, the Bag Team Coach,
says Tim's "a hard charger who's well
deserving of being the first to transition.''
