[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by route_rock</i> <br /><br />Hmmm Hired by BNSF never went to NARS, and I am not a chick. Put in your ap NARS gets preference but so what? 10 spaces that need filled, 3 nars grads in your area you do the math.Out of 75 hired in my terminal only 28 went to nars.Even if you go to NARS you dont get to go railroading once hired you still get the same class,but you get road jobs to do. <br /> Modoc doesnt explain a key feature. Sure youll have a card that says I can run an engine,but you have to establi***rainmens seniority. Then youll have to bid to go to engineer school for the railroad you work for. And if your at the bottom of the barrel you could be waiting for a few years.I have seen some terminals ask for 10 bids and others only 2 or 3 so get in serve your time pay your dues. You may get lucky and get right in or you may have to wait, called luck of the draw. <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />I don't know of that many NARS guys that have hired out and no Modoc guys. Can I ask when you hired out and how close you are to promoting (not being nosey...just for reference) some terminals are promoting early and some take forever.
