[quote user="EspeeEngineer"] Sounds like the typical UP Hiring Session, they suck you in and then immediately try to scare you off. They are going to shoot themselves in the foot with their tactics and "ideas". I can't blame you for leaving. In the Los Angeles area they want the conductor new hires to be on call to work any yard from as far north as Palmdale and as far south as Encinitas and be able to actually GET TO THESE YARDS IN 2 HOURS! Now, if anyone has ever lived or is familiar with the greater LA area you know that you are not going to make it to the yard, which can be pretty far away, in 2 hours. BUT WAIT! UP and all of it's infinite knowledge has a solution......THEY EXPECT YOU TO PAY FOR A HOTEL ROOM that is close enough for you to get to the yard you can be called to work at and NOT pay you back for the hotel room! Now who in their right mind would  make as little as they are paying new hires and then on top of that eat the cost of your own hotel room tso you can get to the yard you are assigned to for that week at a moments notice? [D)]They aren't going to have people to run the trains after all the old heads retire at this rate....  [/quote]Not to worry, robot controlled trains are on the way. /Sarcasm.
