Back to PSR, I'll put it this way: I had four starts for the entire month of February working off the road extralist. Our list is 7/2, and had 6 turns (now 5). It's a direct result of cutting trains, cutting pools, and cutting so much management that came back to their craft. In my terminal we have about 80 people. I lost like 15 turns because of all of this. That's a huge chunk. I lost more seniority in one month than I gained in 10+ years.

And of course upper management nor investors care.  Management wants those trains rolling 24/7 for their bonuses, and investors want those $$$ rolling 24/7 for their dividends.

Must be interesting management types suddenly back into crafts again, they had insight into how things were done and "war stories" of contending with PSR.
