[quote user="BaltACD"]<font color="#0000ff"> should they fail to qualify as a locomotive engineer most agreements require their employment in Train Service be terminated.</font><br>[/quote]<br> <br> <br> Question about that:<br> <br> The entire scenario you just outlined was exactly the way the recruiter from NS explained it.<br> <br> But, under such a scenario, doesn't that make it almost impossible to build any meaningful seniority as a conductor?<br> <br> Seems to me that if every conductor is going to get the call to become an engineer after a year or so, it would be nigh impossible to get the 5 (+/-) years seniority (as a conductor) they say it takes to "hold" the conductors job on a local.<br> <br> I guess the thinking goes that everyone is supposed to lust towards that engineer's position.<br> <br> Personally, the regular hours and being home everynight, even as a conductor, would be preferable.<br>
