Exactly, Dave! When we get these college grad non railroading TMs and YMs, how do you think the freight gets moved? We carry the slack and it gets done. I have been there when old heads help these guys out on what moves should be made and on how things should operate. If they are cool, we are cool. If they are dicks, then we can become dicks. Eolafan....the RR is hiring. Try it for awhile. You will soon become privy to what we are talking about. And I will not quit my job because of some dummy official that will most likely be gone long before I will. You have got to remember that some of these smartass college geeks (not all) come on with the attitude that we are a bunch of uneducated ding-a-lings because they have that little piece of paper. The RR hires those guys for a reason and it is not because they are geniuses. It is because they are yes men/women. They can't go back to the craft if they don't like what the RR says (which is sometimes not whats best for moving freight). They have to do what they're told or be canned. Remember, the head shmucks usually don't come from the ranks. They are numbers guys and alot of times have no clue on what needs to be done, only what looks good on some spreadsheet. If you got rid of 1/2 of these officials, the freight would still move. If you got rid of 1/2 of the crafts......nothing would move! <br />Ken
