[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by ney1815 Well, good news/bad news... I passed the reading test 100% with 10 minutes to spare and did great on the physical test. Thus, I made it thru all 3 cuts. Interview was fine. 9 folks made the cut from my session, and I am not sure how many made the cut from the previous 3 sessions. They made 8 offers that night, and when I saw the 8 guys who got the offers, only one was from my session. He was already a UP sheetmetal worker looking for a TS job. Supposidly, they can make offers for up to 6 months to the rest of us, without attending another session. Unfortunately, I cannot attend another Train Service sesson now for 6 months, even for applications I already submitted. Hopefully, one of the 2 Shop Laborer jobs will come thru for me before I get laid off. [/quote] That is unfortunate. Will they at least consider you for other locations? The shop laborer job would be OK, but it seems to me that if you really want train service and ultimately locomotive engineer work you are just postponing your seniority by taking the laborer's job. You laborer seniority will not transfer to another craft (except possibly for vacation and insurance purposes. LC
