It's my understanding our scheduling rules will change when we get PBS and PBS won't arrive until 2015. This is from the scheduling chairman. Personally, I'm a bit skeptical that nothing at all regarding scheduling will be touched for a over a year.

I spoke to someone about reserve in the union and they said there is no guarantee how many long call lines the company has to build. Right now they do 50/50 but there is nothing stopping them from going 60/40 or 70/30

I think you are speaking of current east contract rules, right?

Yes, that's what was told to me.

If the company has been setting the long call/ short call ratio on their own for years I don't suspect they will change it until the new scheduling provisions are implemented.

Once an interview is completed, is there an "average" amount of time to get a thumbs up or down? Also, are classes run once a month or more often?

Thanks,

There doesn't seem to be an average. Some guys got the call a day later, others waiting 5+ weeks. The thing is, we don't have a pool here. When the call comes, it comes with a class date. They typically give you about 5 weeks lead-time. I have no idea how many classes are filled right now. I know there's only 1 class for December and at least 2 per month for January, February and March. That's the only projections we've seen right now. Just hang in there.
