Air Mail Centers & Facilities

In a notice dated Nov. 10, 2004, [PDF] the USPS advised the APWU that in conjunction with a nationwide review of Air Mail Facilities and Air Mail Centers, operations at AMFs, AMCs, and Airfield Transfer Offices will be standardized.

All piece distribution, mail assignment, and opening activities will be relocated to the appropriate processing and distribution center or other postal facility, the notice says, and air mail facilities will be returned to their core processes. Any impact to staffing will be addressed at the district and area level, within the provisions of the Collective Bargaining Agreement.

A list of AMCs slated for review is attached.

A letter dated Feb. 8, 2005, [PDF] from Clerk Craft Director Jim McCarthy provides additional information. Activities that should remain at the AMFs, AMCs, and ATOs are:

  • Tender and receipt of mail;
  • Ramp activities;
  • Retail (where applicable);
  • Remaining Postal Vehicle Service (PVS) runs.

Whether the operation is a facility or stand-alone installation will determine the application of Article 12, should excessing and/or reassignments become necessary.
