[quote user="Dakguy201"] Perhaps there are two reasons that might explain Mr. Boardman's (as Mr. Phillips sees it) inaction. First, as a former federal official, he is prohibited by law from lobbying his former agency, the FRA.  I believe but am not certain that this prohibition will expire before the end of this year.  Second, there are a number of vacancies on the Amtrak Board of Directors.  When the Administration finally gets around to filling them, it is a near certainty the individuals nominated will be labor union friendly if not former union officials.  The next permanent Amtrak CEO, be it Mr. Boardman or someone else, is going to be faced with a tricky labor relations situation.  [/quote] I spent nearly 40 years working for large corporations.  Thousands of outsiders, including journalists, thought that they knew more about the company than those on the inside.  They didn't!  I doubt that Mr. Phillips or any outsider really understands the dynamics of running Amtrak. Mr. Boardman should be given the benefit of the doubt.  Implementing change at a large organization, especially one that is as political as Amtrak, takes time.  To expect significant change inside of a year is unrealistic.
