AND....allow me to address the elephant in the room of the future. Not only is there an ugly situation with work ethics in hiring today's kids (what do you mean I have to work at 3am?)...and getting them to pass a damn drug test...but you know, now that we're decades into The Staggers Act, and the Class Ones have had free ride to dump the lines they're no longer interested....does anybody wonder and think about retirement? Folks, your RRB benefits are in direct reflection to your average income. And SINCE everybody can't work for Class Ones...the poor schmucks that settle for working for the POS shortlines, they'll still get haunted with less money eventually in their retirement!!! So, if you can't work for a Class One, why the hell would you want to work for a railroad period???
