Yeah, it would be nice to get what we want and only have to give what we want to give for it. Sorry that some of your favorites are going to pass you by because they don't want to work at the "North" plants, but the company is running a business - not a cruise ship line. If you want to go where you want to go, then you have to buy a ticket. In this case, the "fare" for riding the Clinton Gravy Train is to work at the other Exelon sites - which will pay you a ton of money and you can work Byron, Braidwood, Dresden, and LaSalle without changing hotels.
I guess my real point is that you have to do what the guy who signs the paycheck tells you to do, or go work for someone else (and do what they want). It is, always has been, and always will be, true that the person who pays the money is the one who gets the choice.
But, since slavery is illegal, nobody can force you to do anything - even by paying for it. You can always walk away.

Gee, I always assumed that being an employee, the company held some rights as to where I went....'course I always had the right to not go where they wanted, and work for someone else. ::)
There are advantages for the company (training, security, inprocessing, etc) to having craft sollow their outage schedule. There are advantages for the craft (continuous steady work, short travel, firm schedule, getting to work with the same folks all season). :D
If you don't like the deal, you don't hafta take it. ;)
In my past life as a roadie, sometimes I did, sometimes I didn't. Better life as a house tech now anyway... :)
DJ@Retired:
Everyone all I'm saying is that I wouldn't take a deal with strings attached. So I would pass on Clinton. Speaking for myself. You have the final decision. If Bartlett does not get enough resumes to a certain plant then that plant would have to go to a back up contractor who maybe does not have those same strings attached. There is power in the word NO.
Tech A:
Who gets first dibs on the exelon outages? If a Clinton returnee confirms to all the exelon outages do the old exelon techs (numanco) have to look elsewhere? Or does Big Blue give the old exleon plants Clinton and tell the faithful returnees of Bartlett to take another month off?
RAD-GHOST:
Tech A,
Over 40% of the US nuclear facilities are scheduled for a shut down this Spring. DOE and D&D are currently ramping up at several locations (probably 100 positions before 01/01/08), Diablo & Salem's SGR's are estimated to take another 240 Techs out of circulation for a couple of months. That leaves about 350+ ANSI Qualified Technicians for the other 40 outages! As far as the Exelon package, your choice, "Deal", or "No Deal"! Obviously some of the Exelon facilities have people problems, (they don't like people)! I've always heard good things about Clinton, but if they're the cherry pie in your dung dinner, then it's time to move on! Like Beercourt said, you can take home a good chunk of change with the Exelon Bonuses and we all know why they pay those bonuses!
Have a Great Day, RG!
