How will you deal with manual on non-2c days? Does it all get sent to us to sort, or none, or what?
From previous answers given on threads I would imagine the answer that will be given to that question will most likely be:

'We haven't got room to store it in the MC, it'll get sent to the DO's'

Well something changed...

The early learnings are:

DTS still not working at the right level in terms of deferring letters, resulting in higher than expected call rate. This has now been fixed.

Nothing has changed for us, it's always been around a 50% deferral rate for us

Any that comes out the rejects of a CSS will go to the DO. Last I heard the 1C and the 2C will be in separate trays which will all go out to the DOs. Larger MCs might have the room to hold it, we don't. On the late shift ALL space on the floor is sorting space. Warehouse space is taken up by the 2C packets and any inward packets that come through during the day.

If you take out the 2C and DSA then tbqf it's not worth bothering to sort any 1C, they might as well hold it for the next day.

The manual will have to go to the DOs as we've no idea which walks have a non-2C day the next day.

'We haven't got room to store it in the MC, it'll get sent to the DO's. If anything, mail will be dispatched at least 3 months late to DO’s who will have to start deliveries at 6pm and deliver through the night, 8 days a week.’
Edited for accuracy.
The day is gonna come when we’re all gonna have to testify.
