Hi, I was hoping to get on board amtrak as an obs employee. I was wondering a couple things, first off, what does the training consist of? I've seen varied reports, some say its 3 weeks at the DE training center, others say its 3 weeks at a major crew base (each one of these in addition to training trips from your assigned crew base)
Secondly, I'm sure this gets asked a lot, but how long does it typically take to get an invite to interview or the dreaded "we welcome your application to other positions". I applied to 2 obs openings within the last 2 months, one of which had a status date change a couple weeks after I applied (still says "under review") the other has the status date the same as when I applied, does that mean someone reviewed me? Might be a good sign since I wasn't rejected
Lastly, I know for conductor/engineer jobs you need to be able to get to your crew base within 2 hours notice, does the same apply for obs? It doesn't say that in the job description. Would I be on the extra board?
