HOW CAN THE GOVERNMENT DO THIS TO AMTRAK EMPLOYEES

I have a lot of friends that don't want to fly anymore. Some of them can't because of cabin pressure. Some can't drive their cars. So if they want to go from Chicago to California, and someone says that long distance rail service is not needed, we're screwed. Of course we can treat ourselves to a nice Greyhound bus ride for 4 days sitting next to a garlic-eater. <br />If we cut Amtrak free from subsidies, let's cut the airlines free as well. And all the interstates can become toll roads at $14 a toll, every 10 miles. <br />Is Chicago to New York long distance, or an exacerbation of medium distance? Is 16 hours ovrnight too much to expect? Is frequency of trains like prunes? Is 2 enough, are 3 too many? <br />This discussion will go on longer than depot diner and coffee shop. <br /> <br />Mitch
