Now that is just a pile of steaming BS. To label an entire generation of hard working "do it by the book" mechanics in such a fashion proves one thing to me. You have no idea what you are talking...

Don't know about anyone else, but I cannot open your resume.doc.

Not true when I was in the field. We had to be on the job at starting time within a 40 mile radius of a pre-determined central location. I remember one job I had that was 39 miles from the center...

Actually, your score of 393 did not put you in the top 17%. If you do the math, you are in at 23.4347%, so you aren't even in the top 20%. I also fail to see your analogy of who gets in and who...

Call your local or look it up on their website (if they post it). Here the apprenticeship program follows the community college schedule. Classes start in the fall and end in the spring.

Was this to get into the apprenticeship program? I think you need to be in the top 2-3% in L.A. to get in. Study again and take the test again. My guess is that at 393 you haven't a chance of...

For critical charge units we used to use one of these. Probably too much to spend for the little job you have. I'd be tempted to do it your way.

I like your attitude. Here's something I found on the Ingersol Rand careers page. I went to www.trane.com and clcked on careers. I don't know how close Dallas is to Tyler, but it's a place to...

I get a laugh out of guys who come on this site with a bag of crap and when they are told it's a bag of crap they get all offended and start blaming the regular participants (and calling them names)...

First and foremost, I am not a reefer guy. I do know that it requires more HP to cool and pump glycol than it does to do the same with water. What percentage of glycol are they running? Any chance...

I was wondering why this was in the HOS! Ping one of the moderators, they can move it for you.

For five years in the mid 80s one of my accounts was the M/V Sun Princess. I went aboard once a month for inspections and rode it whenever there was a breakdown or major repair. Also spent time on...

I think it would be worse not to tell the boss. What if you try to keep on working and you are unable to do something because of it? Then you tell the boss. Maybe put him in a jam because he was...

I think all the trainers at our company used that terminology. I think we were taught it at one of our classes when we were learning the training process.

When I taught classes for a former employer, the class started with a list of learning objectives. Questions were allowed if they pertained to the topic. If they were a little off topic or were...

I'm no doctor, but I was told that cramping can be caused by a lack of electrolytes. There are many brands of electrolyte replacement powders available at health food stores. Gatorade has...

UA Local 469 in Phoenix posts sample tests and study guides on their website. These examples should give you a fairly good idea of what is expected.

You would have been screwed if you cut it. The line sets weren't copper. If you cut them they were ruined. If I remember correctly we could get 25, 35 and 50' sets.

I wouldn't give my cert# because it contains my SS#. That's no big deal. As far as your professional info is concerned, anybody who does business with your gets that, right? Name, email address,...

Tempurpedic for me. I've had it over ten years and love it.

I think as a 32 year member of Local 250 who took the time to read the apprentice page of Local 250's website I reported accurately. The OP asked SPECIFCALLY about Local 250 not your local in New...

There's a little bit of misinformation stated here.

1. You cannot "grandfather" in to 3rd year. I think the most they can do is skip you ahead one semester (6 months). I tried to do the...

Them "old guys" produced some of the best rock 'n roll in history. Some day you'll just be an old washed up HVAC tech...just sayin'.

If you're making $86K with benefits STAY where you are. It takes quite a bit of time to get to that level in the HVAC business.
