Coming from a management type, I would say that seniority seems to be the most equitable method of handling JOB ASSIGNMENTS - which, in railroading at the operating level, determines income. <br /> <br />I've not seen anyone here claim that there is any difference in the skill level needed operate a local versus a chain gang through freight. If any qualified road engineer/conductor can handle any given assignent, why should an assignment require any special ability? <br /> <br />Please don't mistake this for a glib put-down - anybody who can work subject to call on a 24/7 basis and then move a 10,000 ton train containing millions of dollars in customer's shipments in a safe and efficient manner has my unqualified respect.
