TRRA and Bad language!

Jim, <br /> <br /> I am certainly suprised that you heard that kind of language over the radio. I know for a fact that I am monitored on the radio on a regular basis. Using foul language or disrespecting others over the radio is just asking for time on the street. <br />Train dispatching can be quite stressful at times. I will let off some steam with a sarcastic remark about another railroad when my trains have been getting slaughtered waiting on cross traffic. Or if a crew gets snippy with me and comments on how I should have done "this" instead of "that." I'll usually remark by telling them to send in their resumes and attach an appllication for train dispatcher. Or something like, "Hey, you're more than welcome to come sit in my seat anytime." And of course I know that all of us dispatchers are ranked by the crews. Once you run a certain line enough and get to know the regulars and even the extra board dispatchers you'll either be happy with who you're hearing or go: "Great! we've got this clown dispatching our railroad?"
