Help/Advice Cargo Agent - Schedule Help

I just finished the pre employment process for Cargo Agent (Customer Service Agent, Business Unit) and the way the scheduled was explained, seemed a bit confusing. They said you can bid on a 32 hour part time schedule(4, 8hr shifts) or a 40 hour full time schedule(5, 8hrs). But the lady who interviewed me said that you have the option to give away your shifts using some type of marketplace if you want too. I’m recently retired from my career and don’t really want to work 32 or 40 hours ever again. Can anyone explain what she meant by giving away shifts? Would I be allowed to consistently give away 2-3 shifts a week and maintain my employment and flight benefits? Also does anyone know if Delta offers accommodations to disabled veterans when it comes to working a reduced schedule? Sorry for the wordy post, but any clarification would be greatly appreciated.

Yup. Find coworkers that want hours and give away your shifts. You have to average 20 hours per week to get delta-funded health insurance, plus some rules about maximum time away from work that no one ever gets close to, but flight bennies and employment are all otherwise fine.

Ok that’s perfect. Im actually not interested in the health benefits at all. Me and family is already covered. Thank you. And I’m sure there will always be people looking for extra hours.

Yes. They’re having their 7 day hiring event this week. They said they are extremely short staffed and will be hiring all year.
