@Paf. Local 17 has 172 members as of 2015. Depending upon the amount of work they have and how many people actually take the job and how many guys retire is how your number will shake out. looking at past examples like Hawaii and California what you have is they hire roughly two guys per 100 members of the Union per month for a list you're looking at at a hundred and seventy two guys say what three a month maybe four. also they hiring groups so it'll be five guys at a time usually with the hiring so there could be a month maybe two months where no one gets hired. also you should take into consideration guys who are on the bench your apprentices that are laid off in your mechanics that are laid off. Those guys get hired first. if and when you do get the phone call don't hesitate jump on it this is a great trade and a good career. Good luck
