NEW HIRE ETP PAY RATE

Hello All,
Can someone please tell me the current pay rate(STUDENT RATE) for incumbents in the Engineer Training Program (ETP) as well as the current full rate of pay for engineers and the current progression schedule? All for Amtrak. Thank you very much. Also, does anyone have any info on my chances of getting hired "off the street" for an engineer position? I recently applied for an engineer trainee position. Again thanks alot!

Moved to the appropriate forum, the employment thread.

Without knowing any of your previous job experience, hard to say what your chances will be. Amtrak only hires very few people at a time for each posting so your chances of being hired off the street are slim (not impossible.) I did have a lot of Vets in my class when I went through the program so if you are one then that should help.

I'm mainly management and customer service however I did clean cars for metro north about 15 years ago so I am familiar with the railroad. In not a vet so I hope that I still have a shot at this. If not I'll just keep trying. Thanks.
