Just called they're on number 37 so I am currently 86

Just like the prediction o the stock market crash lol. Everyone said there was tons of work and the employers couldn't wait to get there hands on the new list. 37 already is nuts. The demand is real. One thing I can't and they won't emphasize enough, is to make sure to take care of your paperwork end. A lot of guys are getting cut because they're not taking it seriously and doing their paperwork. It's about more then showing up. They ask a lot of us as probationary apprentices. And ps if you end up with Otis your def looking at 12 hour days and weekends.

What paperwork? Like for the hiring process or work related?

Good to know they have plenty of work. What do they have you doing so far?

Well im just hoping things continue at this pace. Im just excited to start, hopefully in a couple more months. Anyone else have any insite or tips? New info?

Your time sheets. You have to record your hours for everyday on two separate sheets. On top of that you have to make copies and turn them in. Preferbly every month. Some guys get behind and get kicked out. Plus make more copies to keep for yourself just i case. I'm replacing cab interiors right now. Working in repair, not new construction

What are the hours like ?

From what I know

Construction works 4 ten hour days Monday through Thursday.
Mod & service (including repair) work Monday through Friday 8 hour days.

With the new agreement Mod can work the four day week but that doesn't start until July 7th.

Thanks...

I believe that they are around ~#42

And @hog451, do you know of anywhere online we could find the new agreement to read? Or will it only be available after it goes into effect?

I can't find it yet. Since I'm not a union member (probie for a year) I can't ask for it either. I guess we will have to wait and see. I know about the mod hour change because I was in mod. Recently moved to new installation, work in mod slowed down. I actually like new installation work better.

Thanks for the information fellas

No problem, they are now at at least 47 since I got a call today. Orientation Thursday. My flight leaves in 9 hours.

Congrats!! Let us know how it goes!

Congrats man! What number were you?

I was 47. I don't think I've picked up a phone that fast in my life. Just gotta make the most out of this opportunity now.
