[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by TomDiehl [quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by futuremodal I for one am glad Gunn is gone, he was not a team player, and his *vision* for Amtrak was nothing short of blind. The current modus operandi for Amtrak is a dead-ender, frankly always has been and always would be, and Gunn's penchant for continuing down that same path makes him a dead-ender as well. It isn't just Amtrak that needs change, it is the whole concept of rail passenger. We need someone who will drag the rail passenger communitiy kicking and screaming out of the 1930's logistics the rule the roost today, and start them down the path of fitting rail passenger concepts into the modern transportation network. [/quote] You're right. Someone who's competent and capable of doing their job has no place in this administration. Anybody that runs a passenger railroad, improving customer service and increasing passenger carriage figures is definately screwing up. Maybe they should put a show horse judge in his place. How soon we forget how well the airlines provided passenger flights on September 11, 12, and 13. Oh wait, they were GROUNDED. Public transportation isn't on the minds of this "silver spoon" administration, they can just hop in their gas guzzling SUV's and go where and when they want. [/quote] Hmmm, I guess it all comes down to your skewed definition of "competent". I guess in your world "competent" means complete aquiesence to anachronistic leftist *ideals*. David Gunn was incompetent. He was trying to keep Amtrak going down the road of outdated logistics. I would think even folks like you would admit that trying to run a transportation operation with outdated logistics is the poster child of incompetence, but of course your political views are also outdated, so at least your view of what is and isn't *competent* is consistent. Tell me, which *forward thinking* world leader do you admire the most? Castro? Schroeder? Chirac? Chavez?
