    Now that BYD got caught paying $1.50 an hour and violations labor laws, they may start offering wages barely over minimum wage. But now that Metro is dumping their BYD busses by selling them to AVTA the future doesn’t look as good as Chairman Marve likes to make it out to be. You would be better off working for Aerospace especially with those new jobs coming. They pay good wages.
