Virginia is rolling with work. I hail from 52, but am in the process of transferring into 51. The problem we are seeing is that when the economy fell out in 08, a lot of guys got out of the trade and never came back. We do not have any mechanics on either bench in 51/52 to hire and its delaying the helper list when in reality we are over loaded with work and need multiple crews particularly in Richmond. Good luck and soak it all in, it took me 9 months to get hired into 52 and that was with a 12 ranking on the list, granite we are a much smaller union.
