I will be on whatever they need me on, doing the Northeast corridor you can be on different engine types.Time off? What is this you speak of? Not much. On call 24/7 except one day off a week. 
That won't kick in until I am done with training on the track, which they say will be about 2 years. You are assigned ONE route, and must know EVERY inch of that track before they cut you loose. So I will be on a senior engineer's schedule (read weekends/holidays off) for awhile.

Not the greatest, starting around 40k (plus OT). July 1, pay goes up to 20.85/hr for training pay, at 40hrs/wk. But I will be "based" in NY, and home everyday/night.
Now where... look up insult, and see if it applies. And talk about "anger" issues?
"Hey short bus, I will GLADLY see you around campus....any time. If and when we are recalled, I'm sure we can figure out who each other is and I look forward to hearing you mouth off to my face.
Not joining your buddy Schrek in 'nam?"

One thing you all need to understand is that UAL ALPA didn't work out a deal with GoJet per se, the deal is to place UAL furloughees at any UAX airline that is hiring. If SkyWest were hiring, we'd be going there. If Republic was hiring, we'd be going there. GoJet just happens to be the UAX carrier that is hiring now so they now fall under the LOA. This LOA is from 2003.

Hey short bus, i just applied to amtrak. i'm a furloughed united guy. I tried the freight railroad business but got furloughed there also. i'm just looking for some more info on the application process, please send me a message when you can. I tried to send you a message but I can't do it for whatever reason. I'll take any info you can give me. Thanks.
