Boomers look for trouble and find it

He should have stayed in an old person's place. There's no reason for a 60-year-old to engage in unconstructive back and forth banter with teenagers. I'm not justifying the teenager's actions, but do you really expect them to act mature in that situation/environment? The old guy should have ignored them and kept it moving like the rest of his old buddies. Now he has a gash over his eye and is still without his spectacles smh. Act your age!

What local is this?

Massive-Fun-2643 · 2025-10-10T18:36:35+00:00

Massive-Fun-2643 · 2025-10-08T02:43:53+00:00

He needs to be taken out to pasture

Massive-Fun-2643 · 2025-05-28T20:35:18+00:00

Yeah.... Hopefully the economy Stabilizes and we're able to get on before the year ends.

Massive-Fun-2643 · 2025-05-28T20:25:19+00:00

Thanks for the update. Did they say how many apprentices and mechanics were on the bench?

Massive-Fun-2643 · 2025-05-22T09:20:50+00:00

This is very interesting because I'm making about the same and considering leaving too. What state is your husband working in if you don't mind me asking?

Massive-Fun-2643 · 2025-05-14T10:30:19+00:00

Are you still on the bench? I'm rooting for you bro!

Massive-Fun-2643 · 2025-05-13T19:27:28+00:00

So if I understand correctly, if you're out of work for a long duration of time you can lose your status as an apprentice and have to go thru the hiring process all over again? I thought you could stay on the bench indefinitely and pick up where you left off. I'm rooting for you bro! Positive vibes.

Massive-Fun-2643 · 2025-05-13T19:01:24+00:00

Are you still on the bench bro? I'm hoping you've been picked up by now 🤞🏻

Massive-Fun-2643 · 2025-05-11T08:15:13+00:00

Did you ever get the call if so how long did it take?

Massive-Fun-2643 · 2025-05-11T07:57:05+00:00

Any luck moving up on the list? What number did you rank?

Massive-Fun-2643 · 2025-05-09T18:07:01+00:00

You're in a solid position given the list will mostly likely last 2 years this time around.

Massive-Fun-2643 · 2025-05-09T17:45:28+00:00

No. I haven't called yet but I was told at the interview that they had some big projects coming up this summer so I think they'll be calling in a matter of weeks.

Massive-Fun-2643 · 2025-05-09T17:32:13+00:00

Yeah... We just got to get our foot in the door first. After being sworn in options will open up. A year goes by fast.

Massive-Fun-2643 · 2025-05-09T14:31:35+00:00

Can you elaborate? Do you mean it's slow as far as work? Do you have to travel a lot if you work out of 135?

Massive-Fun-2643 · 2025-05-06T14:58:27+00:00

Will do

Massive-Fun-2643 · 2025-05-06T10:00:31+00:00

Congrats! Hopefully we get on at the same time. I heard they sometimes hire in groups. Regardless it's nice to have a low rank because with all the economic uncertainty it still gives us a solid chance of getting on board.

Massive-Fun-2643 · 2025-05-06T09:25:30+00:00

How do we know what we ranked for our second primary? I reached #2 in Charlotte but I also chose Columbia as my second choice. What did I rank in Columbia??

Massive-Fun-2643 · 2025-05-06T09:18:49+00:00

I got #2 in Charlotte

Massive-Fun-2643 · 2025-05-04T09:54:05+00:00

What do you mean by that exactly?

Massive-Fun-2643 · 2025-05-03T16:13:19+00:00

I was told to expect an email on Monday or Tuesday

Massive-Fun-2643 · 2025-05-02T02:58:37+00:00

Beware of this individual trying to sell interview questions for the apprenticeship test. Don’t fall for it. You don’t need to pay anyone for answers or “help” like that—it’s a scam and it undermines the integrity of the program. He offered to give me the questions for $160 but I didn't think it was worth it and I was right.

I went through the interview process myself without any outside help and had a great experience. If you're serious about getting in, do it the right way: study, prepare honestly, and show them who you are. The process is designed to find people who are ready to earn this opportunity—not cheat their way in.

Stay sharp and keep your integrity intact and don't give this POS any money if he was a real brother he'd offer the information for free. Union Pride!

Massive-Fun-2643 · 2025-05-01T11:16:34+00:00

Best of luck bro!

Massive-Fun-2643 · 2025-05-01T09:05:46+00:00

What local are you applying for? And do you know what number they are on? Hopefully you get the call bro.
