Mac- Not to sound callous but I have been an unhappy employee before, I know exactly what that is like and how it works. I also know that now, about 5 years downstream from the Conrail acquisition by NS and CSXT a lot of employees around here are a lot happier. They are making good money, work is up and things are looking better than they have in a long time. Many of the older employees have retired and those of us who have been around for a while are near the top of the pile. The nature of railroading does n't make it a "happy" job. All of us have seen great changes in our industry. We all have a choice, we can crawl away and cry about it or try our best to make the most of our lot. I intend to continue to make the best of it. I'm sure that many at CN will do likewise. I find it hard to be too sympathetic, a good friend just left the NS and took a job with CN on one of it's former IC routes. He was given both a conductor's date and an engineer's date and now earns more than I do (he was well junior to me on our roster). He's always been a bit of a boomer and he's a good engineer. I'm glad for him, but I have a hard time rationalizing compalints when I hear stories like his. LC
