Hey Calgary! <br />I can't wait until they wake up and see the opportunities for a corridor network between Calgary and Edmonton too! Unfortunatly you're looking at at least ten years, but you never know...I've worked for VIA for only six years and have seen so many amazing changes that you can never tell. <br />The thing is though, in response to Noel...you sound very bitter and seem to think that the service manager who worked on that train was somehow happier than the conductors on the yankie side because VIA got some amazing government grant; I think that that is very naive of you. Six years ago we had conductors too, many of whom fit the discription in the article to a tee. When I started I was discusted. I don't mean at all to say they were all like this...but a lot of them were. Remember that a conductor has a lot of other concerns on their minds - not on the high end of the totem poll customers. Many of them started their careers in freight so they prioritze differently. VIA restructured in 98 to what seemed at the time a very scarey move (read the article for the detaIls of new crewing inciatives). But basically, regardless of how happy we are (or are not) with our political situations, service managers were hired directly to be responsible for safety and SERVICE. Also (and this should not really be here 2nd) to save a stinckly grose amount of money. <br />The long and the short of it is that regardless of our political situation, we now have fun in our jobs. :)
