They could pick and choose calls and refuse calls<br />At 3 pm Apprentices could call. No choice on assignments<br />At 3:30 Out of town cards could call. Must call and no choice of assignment<br />At 4:00pm the extras called all 600 of them. Usually 2 dialed and dialed the last digit at 4 pm. Once in production stopped and everyone lined up 4 work assignments for the next day. Sometimes took 2 hours of dial, hangup, redial to get in.<br />728 were jerks even then. An exclusive boys club designed so the percentage of journeymen was always way less than the max available work.<br />Would pull you off a job 29 days into a 30 day gig to keep you from joining.bumpy wisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17823205706892600770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078779326914378322.post-59687399647611735592021-05-28T09:25:48.048-07:002021-05-28T09:25:48.048-07:00Phil --

But yeah the rings you jumped through were far more frustrating than what I had to deal with about 5 years ago and it's changed even since then.Phillip Jacksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16732683420405850358noreply@blogger.com
