[quote user="nbrodar"]But all of this is contingent on the local operating agreement...so it may differ from place to place.Nick[/quote]Yeah, I know the local operation with NS has an oddball set up, where they claim they don't pay for hours worked, they pay for runs (trips) which makes me wonder if they would get shorted if they were asked to take two short recrew stints.  So for instance if a crew from here to chicago gets paid $xxx dollars for the trip, they get paid the same if they make it in 8 hours, just the same as if it takes 12 hours. Basically meaning  (when it comes right down to it) you aren't getting paid for the time you spend sitting in a siding.So under such an agreement, I'm wondering how they might abuse a guy who was (for instance) at his away terminal, gets called to recrew  an inbound, and spends 3 hours bringing the train the last 10 miles The first crew is going to get their trip pay, will the relief crew get paid for a full trip, and get sent back to the motel? Sounds almost too good to be believed.  Or just for the 10 miles?
