Today I went to a hiring session for Freight Conductor and was invited back next week for an interview. I am retiring from the US Navy and they seem to really want me to sign on. I have heard horror stories about the Conductor position, being on call 24/7 and never able to plan anything at home. I flew for the Navy as a Loadmaster and knew I was on call 24/7, but rarely was ever called unexpected. If I was it was either a rare pop-up flight, an emergency crew change, or more likely the schedulers screwed up. I pretty well knew at least 3 days out when I was scheduled for a flight. How well organized is the scheduling of train crews? Is it always "crisis management" and will I always be called unexpected?
