Ney, Cab has inferred alot here! It depends on the RR! I have system wide seniority. On the UP it is different. I do know that where you hire is where you will train. On some roads, you may transfer, but seniority will be lost. If I were you, hire where you can (and plan to live there), but talk to the Local Chair and find out how the seniority districts are set up and where your seniority is good out of the terminal hired. Cab is over simplifying agreements. In my terminal, we have no less than 6 local agreements, all are a little different. My terminal runs all 4 directions n,s,w,e. We have at least 9 pools protecting these runs (each, trnmen, hogs) not including the Ex boards. So if you work outta Timbucktu, it doesn't necessarily mean that you will protect all directions outta there. There are double ended pools and single ended pools in the mix as well. Don't worry about this crap! Just do your best to hire out and the rest will come. You don't learn this stuff over nite. I am still learning every day. Getting paid is annother headache laden with arbitraries, special claims and declines. Just part of the fun of RRing. <br />Ken
