After 19 years as Engineer. Did try to go back. The railroad agreed to take me back at my old craft ANDmy prior seniority level!!! But my &*$%#@!!! union "brothers" rejected the idea. I feel very betrayed. [/quote] Ouch. What happened? Did you go to another RR? LC [/quote] LC- No. I've been doing desk jobs since then, and have gotten way too out of shape to start over as a groundpounder. If I could find a railroad that would hire me as engineer, then I would definitely go back. Every job has it's good and bad points. I really like the regualr eight-hour days I have now, but for me, being an Engineer was the coolest job in the world. I just did not want to work seven days per week at 12+ hours per day. Hence my dismissal. In addition, at the time I was let go, the railroad was looking for ways to get rid of the 'older seniority' employees, because our pay , arbitraries, and benefits were so much greater than the new-hires. [/quote] Yeah, I would not like to go back to the ground. Too old and a serious case of engineeritis... LC
