only four days until we hear the decision to keep the changes?
The changes "expire" May 31.only four days until we hear the decision to keep the changes?
Wow, you snagged a good deal. Just for fun, I just looked at the same dates and it was $1300.Well, while the train is late, great deals are available for the roomettes. I just snagged a sub $250 roomette both ways Between Chicago and Seattle. May 23 out and June 5 back.
With two people sharing, and the aaa discount, it is a lot of train time and food for the money.
wasn't there a law regarding that, the host railroad HAS TO give amtrak priority or face fines?Agreed.
Although the recent trend of all of the host roads treating Amtrak like crap is troubling.
You know that this isn't happening?An CEO can ask question to show interest. People do work harder if someone is watching.
I have to agree. I've seen more positive progress in more areas then with the previous two CEOs. I like Boardman. When I've watched his performance before congress I've been generally impressed at his advocacy for rail travel including long distance travel. I recall the last several CEOs were not railroad men whereas Boardman has spent a career in railroad and understands the industry quite well.I frankly think Boardman is a part of the solution, not part of the problem.
It takes time to staff up qualified individuals in order to expand the board and protect Minot's departure time. It's four to six months minimum to hire and train new assistant conductors and full year before they are conductor qualified. We need at least two, preferably four crew in Minot to protect as long as #7 is not going to be able to arrive less than two hours late.What about these delay in Minot, ND of no rested crews available.
