In most every aspect I have been treated well. I am working my
apprentice****p under the top dealer tech, and one of the highest rated
in the region. I spent all day working with him, which in itself is
great training. He and I are the only ones that work on diesel. When
a Corvette goes in, they always come to us. I guess what I need to
find out is if they pay the other techs. If no one gets paid for on-
line, then that's ok. But if some do and some don't, well, then
that's an issue. But it certainly seems that the hands-on should be
paid since that is during the work week.
Thanks
