I hope so man, obviously every one of us really wants to be there and we’ve put in the time and effort to get our chance. I really hope every single one of us can make it to the field.

I’m an out of towner in a good career but in a second I’m willing to drop everything to get my chance because this is what I want, and I’m sure I’m not the only one who’s willing to pack up and go for this opportunity. The economy is booming, there has never been such a short amount of skilled labor in our country and I hope that means we can all earn our place here.

You gotta think about people that will fail the drug test (up 100 days to get clean), people that'll quit after a few weeks, people that'll run late and think that's acceptable AND they're still in the probation period. People that live our of state and cant make it the next day, people that may have contractual obligations that make it impossible for them to not give 2 week notice... Lots of ways the list will move.

To everyone that is optimistic, I am in your corner. However after talking to the people that are running the show in the union that we are trying to become part of, my hopes for anything before 2020 can not be so optimistic. A more a realistic goal at this point is to make myself more desirable as a worker in the form of certifications and classes. You can find out the same infor straight from the horses mouth by calling 702-704-3219 and ask for Joe Boswell and he will tell you the same thing he told me. Its pretty simple, then all the non facts can be silenced. Easy solution to an easy problem.

See now I think that the roles have reversed here because in the beginning where I was the one who was being criticized by you which by the way was so rude and unprofessional that I wanted to punch you in the face for (which is totally unlike me). I think we have come full circle and now I feel like it is I who is going to be rude and unprofessional by saying, "Are you fucking serious?" I gave YOU the fucking mans name and his telephone number so YOU could call him and get the information directly from him so that you would not be confused about this subject anymore. You cant follow simple directions or you do not understand English whatever the case is I have no idea how you got a higher ranking than anyone in the pool sorry to have to have gone there but your obtuseness is rather frustrating. Once again, and this time I will try to put it in a way you can understand, PICK UP THE PHONE WITH YOUR HAND AND DIAL 702-704-3219 AND ASK FOR JOE BOSWELL THEN ASK HIM WHATEVER YOUR QUESTIONS ARE THAT RELATE TO THE ELEVATOR UNION AND HE WILL GIVE YOU THE PROPER ANSWERS TO YOUR QUESTIONS.

And there will be no movement. exactly like Joe said, so keep your jobs. Get yourself set up for 2020 open enrollment if you are thinking about this as a career because that will be your only chance. As for the trolls, there is an alternate open entrollment running year round because those spots are always open like your mouths.

Question about the pay if anyone can answer. So the 53 for the mechanic pay, is that with insurance and everything included. Or is the 53 what you see on your check? Can someone break down the pay for me please ?

Awesome. My grandpa. (Union iron worker for 40 years) was telling me there’s no way that’s on the check. That that’s the full package and kinda got me thinking. Thanks for clearing that up for me!
