<p>[quote user="Paul_D_North_Jr"]</p> <p><span style="color:#993300;"><strong>BaltACD</strong></span>, thanks much for sharing that ! <img src="/emoticons/icon_smile_bow.gif" alt="Bow" /> Very informative.</p> <p>- Paul North. [/quote]</p> <p>I second that! Very informative.</p> <p>I don't know whether the perceived benefits of PTC will justify the costs. Many if not most of the government mandated safety policies, procedures, and practices for the airlines have resulted in a safer system than might otherwise have been the case.</p> <p>If the airlines and railroads are to be positively controlled, the nation should apply the same standards to truckers, barge operators, etc. If I remember correctly, truckers are responsible for more than 5,000 fatalities a year.</p> <p>PTC for truckers. Now that would keep the programmers and equipment manufactures employed for at least a couple of weeks. Don't you think?</p>
