<p>[quote user="oltmannd"]</p> <p>[quote user="samfp1943"] If AMTRAK canniot make money providing food service to their'Captive Crowd" why not contract food service out to a company that has expertise in either an airline food service environment or to some company that has expertise in institutional food service environment? But then I would guess the 'Mountain to climb' there is various Union agreement and their comitment to the employees compensation fund ( retirements, etc) .[/quote]</p> <p>It's also hard to admit to yourself you're not good at something you've been doing for a long time. </p> <p>Amtrak has all sorts of labor protection baked into their contracts (mgt had zero incentive not to do so), so I'd bet you're right that it's not a simple thing to contract out food service. [/quote]</p> <p>If I remember correctly President Reagan stood down the air traffic controllers union. And got them to see the world in a different light. Perhaps if Amtrak's management had the same intestinal fortitude, they could get Amtrak's unions to see the need to change. </p>
