Maybe because of Fourth of July and people taking vacations but it's been going pretty fast 54 people in a month and a half is pretty good

How about you don't call, and you wait patiently. The local is most likely tired of the callers. Listen, Skilledbutcher is right, don't get hung up on the list. You are going to wait, and wait and wait.

Then how will the rest of us know what number the list is on? If its steady or slowed down or jumped by 10? I honestly dont think they get calls all day every ten minutes asking what number the list is on. Plus I imagine keeping the lastest number posted here keeps alot more people from calling who otherwise would have.
But what do I know, Im in the mid-300s and have no reason to call for probably 8 to 12 more months.

I try to call once a week and the lady who answers doesnt even ask me for my name anymore, she just greets me by name. Always polite and it doesnt seem like shes annoyed or anything. I do like to keep updated as much as possible to let my current employer a heads up that im almost going to be called. Im not sure how many or how often people do check but its nice being updated.

You are going to wait, and wait and wait. You're not from the bay area are you? No where else would the list move as fast as it has here. Cranes are popping up like rabbits -- and cranes mean lots of jobs. The point of this thread was to keep each other updated so we're not all calling as much. Let's stay optimistic

Let's stay optimistic Uh...I was number 12 in Austin, Texas...one of the fastest growing cities in the US....granted the bay area is growing fast but trust me...if u see all the cranes in Austin you would THINK they would be calling ppl left and right...trust me that is exactly what i was thinking as well...A lot if it has to do with the types of elevators and what kind....how big of a crew they need ...how many mods are they doing , repair work...laid off guys on the list...way WAY to many factors...and trust me ..as fast as they call u they can lay u off and u will be out back on the bench ... hopefully not Long, but it can be a few months

Local 8 isnt in one city though, not even just the Bay Area, its all of Northern California. Norcals population is estimated at 15 million. Thats a huge area to cover for everything elevators.
I think most of us like to know what number the list is on so we can get things in order with our current work situations too. Since you said as quick as you get called you can be laid off. I know I'd like to leave my job in good standing when I get the call so I can be able to come back should I get laid of.

Again, the point of this thread was to keep each other informed so we know when its getting close... Whether its 2 weeks from now or a year and a half. I like to stay prepared so its nice to know that other people have the same mindset and are calling to find out. Lay offs go hand in hand with construction, I'm well aware -- but our foot is in the door once the call comes in. One can only hope it continues
