You may want to try the latest version of Sorenson Squeeze as well. I've had good luck with it, transcoding from difficult .264 formats into very easy to handle AVID media.

Definitely do call CSATF and find out exactly what the requirements are for your position. I am 600 based in Dallas, TX and have about 20 union days and several hundred non-union. But when I called they told me that as a loader I cannot submit ANY non-union days, and furthermore, my union days do not count since I was hired local. They required that my union days be hired in Los Angeles and transported by the production out of state for them to count at all. for what it's worth.
