[quote user="CMStPnP"] [quote user="ACY"]I don't want to single out any one person here, but I suggest some folks who have such prescient ideas should submit resumes & hire out as Amtrak chefs.[/quote] Salary of an Amtrak Chef: http://www.careerbliss.com/amtrak/salaries/chef [/quote] How does CareerBliss get its information?  How do they verify it?  Unless they have an Amtrak employee pump them the information, presumably they are relying on self-reporting or the union contacts.   The numbers square with what I have heard from another source.  In both cases, i.e. salary for Amtrak chefs and average Amtrak salaries; however, the stand alone salary numbers overlook the benefits portion of the employee's compensation packages, which can add as much as 30 to 40 per cent more to compensation costs. I ride the Texas Eagle to Dallas or San Antonio at least once a month.  As a result I have gotten to know two of the dinning car waiters, not to mention the conductors, reasonably well. All of them have told me that the benefits are a critical part of their decision to work for Amtrak.  They have excellent health insurance, as well as retirement and other benefits.  Presumably the chefs enjoy similar benefits.
