Johnsouza: <br />Relax, If you like your present position (LSA in the Corridor), you are going to be doing it for a long time. <br />If your crew base was elswhere in the USA and you were working on the Southwest Chief or the Empire Builder, you might possibly be looking at future employment as a Matre D' at a Mexican restaurant or as the assistant manager of a Radio Shack. You are in the Corridor which is relatively safe. There is a RAPID turnover in your department so your seniority will accumulate quickly, and also as I see, although senior employees from around the country CAN come and bump you if and when their trains are abolished, most wont. Years ago, the so called "boomers" hit the trail when work dried up. These days, people are more likely to hold on to their homes, keep their kids in school and stay put, even if it means leaving the railroad. <br />b.t.w., rwhen the Acela First Class is on the front of the train, don't be a stranger on the head end. Coffee keeps us Engineers awake, but we don't like to be a pain in the butt & keep asking. <br />Happy New Year
