( and i am keeping it that way) and last but not least, It is easy to get people on and off the train with out being detected. <br /> <br />limited clear are xb is turning also, as you see i am not on here that much, and the weasels was out again last night. i just cant understand why they want to fire the guys who work and leave the non productive guys alone. in any other industry they go after the slackers here they go after the productivity. <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />Wabash- <br /> <br />Hey, don't sweat it, I'm not planning on heading west anytime soon. I suspect from your choice of name that you are on part of the old NS (N&W) and my seniority doesn't extend to your district as an Ex-Con[rail]. I could head out as far west as Chicago and when I was furloughed for a bit in 2001 I had a chance to go south to AL or MS (even though that is Southern Agreement). Luckily for me, a bunch of guys older than me who were also furloughed went west and stayed. The resulting jump in seniority for me has made it so I can hold some really good jobs. I can now hold my chice of 2 pools and a couple of decent locals including our local/yard relief job. So staying was a good call. <br /> <br />The whole weed weasel thing is completely ridiculous. It is as bad as cops seeing who can write the most tickets. When the SAT teams come it is just an excuse for some weasel from another district to screw guys he has no responsibility for and no relationship with. I have heard the supervisors have competitions to see how many they can get into START at a throw. At any given time about 15-20% of our guys are on the beach awaiting investigation for some petty BS, and they wonder why trains are being held for crews... <br /> <br />LC
