Simply quit and move on? To where in today's economy? Unrealistic!! I wish I could just find another job, frankly, a mortgage and child support and everything else in life that "aren't free" stops me. If you're not a railroader, then, you wouldn't and couldn't begin to understand! How about 5 years without a raise and being held in limbo because a fair agreement cannot be negoitiated, and, 4 years without a raise before that! No more retro-active pay either after being held out all of these years. It's just reaching that retirement age is all that keeps me where I'm at. It's a trap. I like what I do, no doubt, but there are many, many labor issues and rules that the typical rail fan doesn't see or hear about. You have to live it.
