I am a fairly new hire. I have a life to live beyond railroading, so I am on a regular turn to get days off. My problem is that the railroad keeps the extra board short and thus uses the regular turns and jobs as extra extra boards. They constantly drop turns to get to someone that cannot afford to miss a trip, this in turn makes it so you are fatigued at work or lose money for the half for not taking the call. I believe that if these train accidents were really looked into, you would probably find that the crew was not expecting to be called when they were called. <br /> <br />AND about the whining... If the old heads would not keep selling, the new hires out in each contract maybe there would not be as much whining. Just look at this new contracted for instance, the pre 1985(old heads) will not loss anything because they are "protected". The new contract was supposed to make us equal but the fine print does just the opposite. <br />
