I am out in San Bernardino right now but I did train with al on #6 while I was in Omaha. First day sitting with Al we had a helper set blow up and plug the main for 2 hours then the train died on the HOS going into the yard and frogged us for another 2 hours. 2nd day one of the intermadals did a pick up but highballed the set out did not notify the yard, TCS, or us and we had a non-clearing meet.

That #6 Desk, how does that chair compair with the others as far the most wanted job?

How much of ol' Al rubbed off on you? Thats the real question here. :wink:

What the hell are ya doing out in Cali? ( I guess your in Omaha taking care of a Cali line) I kinda heard awhile back (long time) that some of the old SP centers are still open, or is everything in Omaha now. Is that what you are doing, dispatching an old SP line.

The above statement about Al, was a positive one. We have had some really good dispatchers, he's up there with the best of them.

Question for ya there dude, do you guys get a bonus....... let me put it this way, is the preferred method to use CAD, do they look at the percentage of the time you have to "turn it off" and run trains manually. Get what i mean. Heard that from a co-worker a few years back when we were sitting there complaining about the dispatchers apparent inability to run trains and let us do our work.
