When railroads fostered in-house mobility/promotions from actual employees who had learned their trade aka How to Railroad, then very few here on AF would make such claims. But those days are long gone with MBA suits making the decisions.
Very few VP's and managers know jack @#$%& about how trains work. They exist to jack up stock prices not provide quality service.
Many of them are truly clueless.
