Everyone I know who got in has an uncle or father who works there.
Guy I know got in because his dad's a foreman, and even after a year + being there, without him having a trade he gets maybe 1-2 shifts a week at tops.
I'd love to work there, but unless I'm getting enough shifts to cover my bills, not worth it. If I was 18 again I'd be applying non stop, but the older I get the less appealing longshore becomes. Who wants to be 25-45 and only getting 1-2 shifts a week (if your lucky). To me it seems like one of those get in when your young and living with your parents...or struggle with bills for a few years until you can get a few shifts more a week
